Notes
Make the waffles vegan by using coconut oil or dairy free butter in the waffle batter, flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flax seed, 3 tablespoons water) and oat milk.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. They also make a great freezer waffle. Freeze for up to 8 weeks.
