Oat Waffles with Rhubarb Ginger Compote

Brunch is my favourite meal of the day; from city restaurant hopping, to cottage cooking I’m always  exploring new spots and new dishes to cook for brunch. At this time of year I try and get up north to the cottage as much as possible and I’m always inspired by the fresh local produce to cook and bake. I love the simplicity of local ingredients to make fresh, easygoing meals for friends and family.

With rhubarb in full swing I’ve been having fun playing around in the kitchen and came up with this sour, spicy, yet sweet rhubarb ginger compote. I wanted to pair the compote with waffles but was craving something a little different. I decided on oat waffles! They are still light and airy but with a hearty texture. And they pair perfectly with my compote, a little yogurt and fresh strawberries. It’s the sweetest cottage brunch served with local bacon and heck, an egg or two! I can’t wait to serve this new version of my waffles to friends at the cottage!

Oat Waffle Tip

Make sure the waffles are good and browned on both sides before removing from the waffle iron. Since the oats stay put in the batter it needs to be baked a little longer than original waffles or they will be a little mushy on the inside!

Notes

Enjoy oat waffles immediately for the best taste and texture. You can also top them with fresh fruits, maple syrup, nut butter, or any other toppings you prefer.

You can keep leftover waffles in the fridge and reheat the next morning in the toaster.

These waffles need extra baking time in the waffle iron. Make sure they are nice and brown.

FAQ’s

Can I use steel cut oats in my oat waffles?

No, avoid using steel-cut oats as they are too coarse and won’t give you the desired texture.

Can I use quick oats instead of old-fashioned oats for oat waffles?

Yes, quick oats are oats that have been pre-cooked and then rolled thinner than old-fashioned oats, resulting in a finer texture. They will absorb moisture more quickly so the waffle batter may have a slightly smoother consistency. The overall texture may be less hearty than with large or old-fashioned oats.

How do I reheat frozen homemade waffles?

Simply pop the frozen waffle into the toaster. You can use the ‘frozen’ setting on the toaster at first and then toast as regular.
