Whether your planning your own brunch or someone else's, these Strawberry Oat Flour Waffles (Mother's Day Inspired) are perfectly fluffy, light, and oh so delicious!

Can you make these waffles vegan?

Yes! I recommend substituting the two eggs with two flaxseed eggs. To make a flaxseed egg, simply mix 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal with 3 tablespoons water, then allow the mixture to sit in your fridge for at least 15 minutes. If you double that recipe (to make two flaxseed eggs), then the waffles ought to turn out just as scrumptious!

Where did waffles originate?

I always find a food's history to be interesting! There is a long debate on whether waffles originate from France or Belgium since they possibly date back to the 13th century. So, I am gonna leave that debate up to historians!

However, there are still quite a few interesting (historical) facts on waffles:

The first waffle maker (with the classic honeycomb pattern) appeared in the 1200's.

Waffles appeared throughout the streets of Europe with a batter that most resembled a thick, biscuity cake. Instead of sugar, Europeans often used honey to make a most delicate, tasty treat.

In the 1620s, the Dutch brought "wafles" with them on their voyage to America.

In 1789, Thomas Jefferson returned back to the USA from France with an abundance of French recipes, including a long-handled waffle iron to make the most crispy, tasty waffles.

How to celebrate Mother's Day with simplicity?

Most mothers simply want to be shown appreciation and true love from their family for all the hard work over the year(s). Maybe bring them their favorite bouquet of flowers, give her the day off from house chores and cooking, make a card that has your favorite memories with her written inside and maybe attach a few printed out photos. Of course, breakfast-in-bed with our Strawberry Oat Flour Waffles (Mother's Day Inspired) is always a good option! :)

Enjoy the simplest moments in life, such as easy waffles with fresh fruits as you sit around your breakfast table and laugh through the morning.

Now, it is time to grab our aprons, because we have some scrumptious baking to do!
