{Breakfast Oat Waffles} – Waffles cu fulgi de ovaz

Funny thing – sometimes finding a recipe and tweaking it takes days, other times it takes seconds. That was the case with these oat and honey waffles – it was love at first sight – I knew I was going to make them the moment I saw the pictures Katrina from Warm Vanilla Sugar posted. It was just the right timing as my son’s been asking me to make waffles for days now. And this was just the right recipe for him considering that all my tries of making him eat oats have failed so far. In fact, they failed so hard that he doesn’t even want to hear the word – oh well, he has no idea oats were involved in this recipe, right?! And he loved every single bite of these – moreover, he preferred them simple, without extra honey or syrup – just plain, simple waffles and I couldn’t be happier watching him chewing on them at breakfast. I suppose it’s just a matter of the form they are presented to him into and not the taste itself and this was a great discovery.. just shh, don’t tell him!

So this recipe is definitely a keeper and I’m more than happy to share it with you. The only change I did compared to the original was adding shredded coconut for a boost of flavor and I’m thinking that maybe next time half of banana, mashed into the batter, would make a nice addition as well. I do think it’s a versatile recipe so go ahead and have fun with it, make your morning meal enjoyable and healthy, packed with enough nutrients for a hard and long day ahead!
