Oatmeal waffles, or waffles de avena, are made by blending rolled oats with skim milk, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, oil, baking powder, and vanilla into a batter and cooking it in a waffle iron until golden, then serving them with fresh fruit and cream. They take 5 minutes of preparation and about 20 minutes of cooking, and serve 4.
A wholesome take on the classic Belgian waffle, they are perfect for breakfast and pair with sweet or savory toppings.
