Healthy Almond Orange Oat Waffles
The easiest healthy waffle recipe bursting with citrus! Made with almond and oat flour and a hint of orange juice and zest, these healthy almond orange oat waffles are freezer friendly and so easy to make! This recipe is vegan and easily gluten free. Easy weekend mornings start with a hearty breakfast. Waffles are a quintessential weekend breakfast food, but I avoided them for years because all the white flour waffle recipes typically have in them. I prefer to save white flour for cake, pie, or cinnamon rolls, if at all possible.
Waffles made with oat and almond flour are a whole grain and protein filled way to start the day without refined flour. I love how these flours transform into flavorful healthy waffles with a tender crumb. Freezer friendly and so convenient, these waffles are whipped up in a blender (or food processor) and they couldn’t be easer to make! Freezer Friendly? Yes please! Simply cool the waffles completely, stack one on top of the other, slide into a storage container then freeze for up to two weeks. They can be toasted from freezer to toaster (I use a toaster oven).
