Oat flour, or ground old-fashioned oatmeal, is a good source of soluble fiber. Many people use oat flour for their baking because it is gluten-free. Gluten is a protein that makes dough elastic and baked goods chewy. Oat flour alone can leave your baked goods crumbly and heavy. This recipe combines oat flour with white whole wheat flour*. The addition of white whole wheat flour helps make these waffles more substantial and fluffy and the apple cider vinegar replaces the rise you would get from buttermilk. This recipe can easily be doubled.
    2/3 cup  oat flour
    1/2 cup  whole wheat white flour, *
    1 1/2 tablespoons  stevia, such as Truvia
    1/2 teaspoon  baking powder
    1/4 teaspoon  kosher salt
    1/4 teaspoon  baking soda
    1/2 teaspoon  cinnamon
    1 large  eggs
    2 tablespoons  melted coconut oil, 1 ounces by weight, cooled
    1 cup  unsweetened almond milk, at room temperature
    1/2 tablespoon  apple cider vinegar

Heat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's directions.
Whisk together the oat flour, whole wheat white flour, stevia, baking powder, salt, baking soda and cinnamon in a medium bowl. In a small bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Whisk in the unsweetened almond milk and the melted coconut oil. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir just until all the dry ingredients are combined. The mixture will be a little lumpy. Rest the batter for 5 minutes. The batter will thicken and bubble as it sits.
Ladle 1/2 cup of waffle batter into the hot iron, using the highest setting. Close the iron top and cook until the waffle is golden on both sides, approximately 1 minute 45 seconds. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve immediately or keep warm in a preheated 200 degree F oven until ready to serve.
Serve with 1/2 cup fresh blueberries or fruit of your choice, and maple syrup, if desired.
*The bran of white whole wheat is not only lighter in color but it?s also milder in ?avor. It is a whole wheat flour, containing the bran, germ and endosperm made from white wheat. King Arthur Flour makes it and can be found in most grocers or can be ordered from their website: kingarthurflour.com.
