Ah, well I hope it turns out better when you whip the whites. I’m not too sure about old waffle irons but that could very well be a reason for it.

Yeah, our waffle iron is pretty old (1990’s, maybe?). And it’s not a Belgian waffle maker, so our waffles have smallish holes, which might account for the lack of crispness. But our old wheat recipe did crisp up, so I’m hopeful stiffening the egg whites will do the trick.

They did get a little crisp after sitting awhile. I’ll have one tomorrow and see if toasting it a bit helps!

Sounds awesome – glad they were at least alright and you can improve them as you see fit. I will have to try whipping the whites next time to see if it helps out. I generally don’t have too much of an issue with these crisping up on the outside as it is. Maybe my waffle iron runs a bit hot?

I tend to also leave them out for a little bit and they crisp up even further. Once I left them overnight and they were almost like a light biscotti in the morning.

They were pretty good, but I’d like to mention a couple of things that I think would make them even better. Firstly, there’s no salt in the recipe. I think it needs some. Also, a recipe I used a lot back in my wheat-filled days had you separate the eggs and add the yolks to the wet ingredients; and then you whip the whites and fold them in after mixing wet and dry which makes the waffles crispy. These could use a little help in the crisping department, probably because they’re so moist…at least with my waffle maker. So, apart from those 2 issues these were great! I’m hoping my ideas will improve the recipe. I’m definitely making these again!

Thanks Chloe! You can make it into pancakes, but you’ll want to add some more almond flour (or coconut flour, psyllium husk, or xanthan gum) to thicken it up a bit. As it stands, it’s a bit liquidy to make into pancakes.

Happy to hear you guys liked the “oatmeal” (or noatmeal, as I call it). Hope this one can fit into your weekly routine also to give a change in your breakfasts!

Awesome to hear Dora! Glad you enjoyed them 🙂
