Whey Oat Waffles. So now that I’ve got my soured whey and oat starter… it’s time to make it into waffles! Because, of course, I have to try out my ‘thrift store new’ waffle iron! I’ll link the recipe for the starter at the end of the recipe, before the picture instructions, in case you haven’t seen that.

If you are following THM this is an E with appropriate toppings. 1 waffle is a serving size.

Whey Oat Waffles
1/2 cup garbanzo flour
1/2 cup quinoa flour
1/2 cup coconut flour
2 Tablespoons baking powder
1 Tablespoon Pyure or Monk Sweet or Super Sweet
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup water
2 Tablespoons oil
4 cups Whey Oat Starter
1 1/2 cups egg whites
1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum

Instructions:
In a bowl combine the garbanzo, quinoa and coconut flours, the baking powder, sweetener and salt. Mix. Add the water and oil. Mix until combined. Add the Whey Oat Starter. Stir until mixed well. Lightly beat the egg whites and xanthan gum till white and frothy. I just put them in my blender for about a minute. Add to mix. Mix just till combined. Lightly spray a heated waffle iron with coconut oil. Pour about 3/4 cup batter in the waffle iron. Cook. Mine has to be flipped and cooks till the light shuts off. Approximately 4 minutes. When it is done, gently open the iron. You may need to gently wiggle the handle up and down till one side of the waffle releases from the iron. When it is open, carefully loosen the corners or edges and lift the waffle off. I like to eat mine topped with yogurt for more protein. The kids often have theirs with butter and maple syrup or honey.

Here is the recipe for the starter:
