How to Make Oat Flour Waffles
Make the Strawberry Chia Jam
Add strawberries, chia seeds, lemon zest, and lemon juice to a small pot. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously, until soft. Once the berries are soft, mash them with the back of a potato masher and cook for 5-10 minutes until thickened.
Prepare the Waffle Batter
Combine oats, monk fruit sugar, baking powder, salt, soy milk, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract in a blender. Blend until smooth. Do not let the batter sit for too long, as the oats will thicken quickly.

Make the High Protein Peanut Butter Sauce

Assemble and Serve

Recipe Tips for Oat Flour Waffles
Adjust the Batter Consistency: If the batter becomes too thick, you can adjust the consistency by adding a small amount of additional soy milk and stirring until it reaches the desired thickness.
Preheat the Waffle Maker: Before adding the batter to the waffle maker, ensure it is properly heated.
Additional Toppings: Customize your waffles with your favorite toppings. Use fresh fruits, nuts, or a dollop of coconut yogurt for added flavor and texture.
Make it Soy-Free: You can substitute soy milk for cashew milk or almond milk for soy-free oat flour waffles.
Sweetener Alternatives: Monk fruit sugar is an excellent low-calorie sweetener. If it’s not handy, you can substitute it for maple syrup.
Swap the Strawberries: Feel free to swap the strawberries for any other berries to create a chia berry jam. Raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries all work wonderfully in this recipe. Each type of berry brings unique flavor and nutritional benefits, so you can customize the jam to your preference or what’s in season.
Use Frozen Berries: Frozen berries are a cost-effective alternative to fresh berries and have the same nutritional profile. They are often picked and frozen at peak ripeness, ensuring the maximum flavor and nutrients. Plus, they save time on washing and prepping.
