Umm...if i don't have any oats handy will the recipe susan posted still be healthy? Can i still make them without that ingredient?

I love this recipe from Cooking Light. The waffles freeze well, so I make an extra batch while the waffle iron is out. They can be popped in the toaster just like those commercial waffles, but so much tastier. The berry syrup can be made from any berry (fresh or frozen) that you have on hand. I only use about half the maple syrup that the recipe calls for. Or serve with fresh sliced fruits, such as bananas or peaches, and whipped cream - just a dollop. Bon appetit!

You'd need to replace it with something, not just omit it. Rye Flakes might work. Heck, for that matter, I bet 1 C of leftover cooked brown rice or wild rice would work too, although the rice would absorb a little less liquid than the dry oats would.

Susan, I tried that waffle recipe....oh my gosh, they are soooo goooood....I put real maple syrup on mine. I'm thinking honey would be good too.
I wasn't sure about the omission of butter, so I did half the butter. I think the next batch, I too will omit the butter. I like to go by the recipe first, then revamp as needed. I was lazy and mushed my nanners.
I'm having a little brunch at my house next week, these will be served.
Thanks for sharing.

Jeff & I continue to work our way through this amazing waffle book. This weekend we had THREE different kinds of waffles.

Saturday night - pumpkin pie waffles. OMG, these were amazing, topped with chopped pecans, whipped cream and maple syrup.

Sunday morning - Smoked salmon, dill & onion waffles. Orgasmic. Topped with sour cream or cream cheese.

AND

Buckwhat, oatmeal & orange waffles, topped with low sugar orange marmalade or real maple syrup. So yummy.

We had overnight company, so we had alot of fun making these fun treats for everyone to share. We only have one waffle iron, so we kept each batch warm in the oven until there were enough to go around.

Wish I could eat like this *all* the time.

If you think Nutella is good you should try making the real from-scratch Belgian stuff!

From what I understand they make it with dark, bitter chocolate, sweetened condensed milk and butter. It makes Nutella taste like putty! When I lived in Belgium, we'd buy it at the local creamery (they also sold raw milk, delicious ice cream, freshly made yogurt). Oh my!
