Tips for selecting ingredients

Be sure to use real butter, not a butter substitute.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by combining 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice.

Ingredient substitutions

Substitute oat flour for all-purpose flour: Oat flour is a healthier alternative to all-purpose flour and it has a nutty flavor that will add more depth to the waffles.
Substitute coconut oil for butter: Coconut oil is a healthier alternative to butter and it will give the waffles a light, tropical flavor.

Variations

Blueberry Waffles Add 1/2 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries to the batter before cooking. Serve with additional blueberries and maple syrup.
