These Crispy Waffles from Snixy Kitchen cook up with golden brown, with crisp outsides and chewy insides.

They take a little bit of extra effort as you have to whip the egg whites to stiff peaks and then fold them into the batter, but my stand mixer made short work of the task. A hand mixer would also work if you're up to holding on to it for that long. But I have never made waffles that turned out this light and crispy, not even back in the gluten and dairy days, so it's definitely worth it.

The recipe calls for whole milk and butter, but I used Trader Joe's unsweetened almond/cashew/macadamia milk and avocado oil, and had great results. The waffles taste perfectly wonderful without any toppings at all, lightly sweet and eggy, like a fortune cookie or a funnel cake, but they'd be delicious with fresh fruit or a dab of maple butter. Despite the oat flour, which you can't really taste, these are mostly starch and do leave a bit of a starchy aftertaste, so some toppings might help counter that.

I doubled the order because four waffles is not enough waffles, and I like to have some in the freezer. They warm up great in the toaster oven/toaster/oven and can easily be eaten out of hand if you're on the go or eating in front of your computer. As I am at this very moment.
