Cheddar & Chive Oat Waffles
Method
-
Blend ingredients. Blend all ingredients including Daily Elements except chives.
-
Pulse in chives. Add chives. Use a couple of pulses to incorporate into the batter. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes to thicken.
-
Cook the waffles. Preheat and grease a waffle iron. Add batter and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
-
Serve. Top with extra chives, cheese, or a dollop of sour cream.
Notes & Variations
-
Let the batter sit: Oats need time to absorb liquid. Letting the batter sit prevents “cardboard” texture.
-
Herb swap: Scallions work well in place of chives.
-
Meal prep tip: Make a batch, freeze, and reheat in a toaster for quick breakfasts.
-
Habit tip: Pair with eggs or a side salad to round out a balanced, nutrient-packed meal.
Dietitian Notes
These waffles are a meal-prepper’s dream. They deliver complex carbs and fiber from oats, protein from eggs and cheese, and fats from butter. Chives add an aromatic flavor along with antioxidant compounds. Daily Elements elevates the nutrient density, adding phytonutrients that support energy and overall wellness. This recipe balances flavor with nutrition, making it a smart addition to any weekday breakfast rotation!
