I am always trying to come up with healthy alternatives for old favorites. My kids are big fans of waffles, but I wasn’t happy with how much white flour and sugar are in traditional recipes. Using our favorite Buttermilk Oatmeal Pancakes as inspiration, I created a brand new waffle recipe that is gluten free, refined sugar free and full of good protein and fat. You can also easily make substitutions for dairy free and vegan. We are huge fans of our Healthy Almond Oat Waffles!
