Preparation

Step 1

*Best to use wet ingredients that have come to room temperature.

Preheat your waffle maker to just over medium heat + grease if necessary.
Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
Whisk the egg until pale yellow, then whisk in the milk, melted butter, and honey.
Pour the wet into the dry and whisk until just combined. Do not over stir.
Let sit undisturbed for 7 minutes. The batter will thicken and puff during this time. After sitting the batter will be very thick [not really pourable] and airy.
Scoop half of the batter onto the hot waffle maker and gently spread around with a spatula or butter knife.
Cook until golden brown. I like to cook just over a medium heat and let it cook for about 1 1/2 cycles. The resulting waffle will be golden brown and soft [but fully cooked through] to the touch but it will firm up a bit as it cools. If your waffle maker is too hot the exterior will become very crispy and the inside won't fully cook.
Serve immediately with the fruit topping, butter + honey, or both.
To store: Let fully cool before storing in an airtight container. Keep in the fridge for 1-2 days and reheat in the toaster or oven, or freeze and reheat the same way.
notes/subs: To make this dairy-free use unrefined coconut oil in place of the butter. It will lead to a mild coconut flavor but will lend the same buttery texture. If you cannot tolerate oats in your diet sub in a high quality all-purpose GF flour blend only for the oat flour at a 1:1 ratio. If you try subbing a gluten filled flour like spelt or whole wheat pastry flour let me know the results!

Berry Topping

Heat in a small pot over medium-low, stirring frequently and lightly mashing for about 12-15 minutes until thickened.
Taste and add more honey if desired.
Remove from the heat, let cool for about 10 minutes, then serve. Will thicken more as it sits. If you want it smooth, place in your blender and puree.
Once fully cooled, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
