Oat Flour Waffles

July 20, 2023 by Gina +

One of the most requested breakfast foods from my little ones is waffles. Since we make them quite often I feel the need to not only make them delicious but also healthy. Oats are a great source of fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins. I also use cottage cheese for a protein boost. If that’s not your thing, you can also add Greek yogurt.

Jump to Recipe

When I was a kid, breakfast was mostly cereal or some kind of toast and fruit. With 4 kids, it was a busy household. Covience was crucial. I wish I could send this recipe back in time to my mama. Waffles might not seem like a quick breakfast, but the batter comes together quickly and you can easily big batch these. They make a great snack too!

Ingredients needed for the Waffles

  • Eggs – 5 in total
  • Oats – I use old-fashioned rolled oats
  • Cottage cheese
  • Maple syrup
  • Vanilla extract

How to make the Waffles

  • Place everything into a large blender. Blend until smooth
  • Warm a waffle iron and spray with cooking oil.
  • Place about 1/4 cup of batter into the center (depending on the size of the waffle iron). Cook until done.
  • Add whatever toppings you like.
  • Place leftovers wrapped in the fridge and reheat when ready to enjoy

Peruvian-style chicken with creamy green sauce T Peruvian-style chicken with creamy green sauce 

The chicken is smoky, garlicky and grilled until juicy, but the creamy cilantro green sauce is what really makes this recipe. I could put it on just about everything.

I kept the heat family-friendly by using just one seeded jalapeรฑo, but you can always leave some of the seeds in or add another jalapeรฑo if you like things spicy. Serve it with rice, grilled corn, potatoes or veggies for an easy summer dinner the whole family will love.

For the chicken:

2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 tbsp white vinegar
2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp kosher salt
ยฝ tsp black pepper

For the creamy green sauce:

1 packed cup fresh cilantro
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 small jalapeรฑo, seeds removed
1 garlic clove
Juice of 2 limes
2 tbsp grated parmesan
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp honey
ยฝ tsp kosher salt
ยผ tsp black pepper

Whisk together the olive oil, garlic, lime juice, vinegar and seasonings. Add the chicken and toss until well coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours.

Add all of the green sauce ingredients to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and add another squeeze of lime or pinch of salt if needed. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Grill the chicken over medium-high heat for about 5โ€“7 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until cooked through to 165ยฐF. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice and drizzle generously with the creamy green sauce.

Serve with rice, grilled corn, avocado, roasted potatoes or your favorite veggiesโ€”and definitely keep extra green sauce on the side.
