Oatmeal Waffles

Hello Everyone! 

The end of CNY is approaching us and project week is upon me. I hope everyone had a good CNY and that you had plenty or hong baos! So I've been trying out various waffle recipes for a while since I got my waffle maker for Christmas last year and I've been substituting flour with oatmeal. I must say, I'm pretty happy with myself and I'm going to share 3 recipes with you guys today!

I'm not sure if all types of oatmeal are gluten free, but I know pure oatmeal is definitely gluten free. You can read the article here. These recipes are vegan because no eggs or milk were used so to all my vegan friends, I hope you enjoy these!

 These are pretty easy recipes and I hope you enjoy them!

Do let me know if you try them out because that would be pretty nice. I think some people would rather mix everything in the blender before pouring it into the waffle maker but I honestly don't really see the difference.

That's all for today's post! I'm sorry if it's kinda short or waffles aren't your thing (then again, who doesn't love waffles, right?). I will see you in my next post and I hope you guys are having a nice week!

Also, TGIF!
