FAQ
- Q: Can I use regular flour instead of oat flour?
- A: Yes, you can, but oat flour is a healthier option because it's gluten-free and has more fiber.
- Q: Can I use cow's milk instead of almond milk?
- A: Yes, you can, but almond milk is lower in calories and fat, and it adds a nutty flavor to the waffles.
- Q: Can I freeze the waffles?
- A: Yes, you can. Let them cool completely, then wrap them individually in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer bag. They can last up to 3 months in the freezer. To reheat, just pop them in the toaster or microwave.
