How do I reheat Strawberry and Vanilla Waffles?
Place the waffles on a baking tray and cook in an oven set to 170ºC for 10-15 minutes until hot – just keep an eye on them to ensure they don’t burn.
You could reheat these in the microwave for 5-6 minutes until piping hot. They probably won’t be as crispy this way.

I only used one egg but they turned out really soggy in the middle too 🙁 I will try again one day.
Michele McKeatingThursday 20th July 2017
Have just bought a waffle maker and tried these, it overflowed and was a mess plus separated in middle. Where did I go wrong?
JillSunday 2nd July 2017
can you leave out the sweetener?
ChelseyThursday 8th June 2017
Made these this morning, I mixed a tiny bit of sugar and cinammon together and put over the top of them with strawberries on the side. They were lovely 🙂
KateSunday 11th June 2017
Hi Chelsey
Gald you like them
AvrilSaturday 6th May 2017
These are just so good! I don’t have a waffle maker but borrowed a pancake maker instead. The recepie made 4 saucer-ish sized pancakes – my son snaffled 2 – but the 2 I managed to retain ownership of were fab! I will definitely be making these again.
LisaSaturday 6th May 2017
Hi there do I have to but this sweetener I can I use any thank you
Lisa
KateTuesday 9th May 2017
Hi Lisa
Yes you can use other sweeteners, but bear in mind Sukrin is the same weight, sweetness and consistency as normal sugar so you use it like for like, unlike other sweeteners which are lighter and sweeter. This means you probably wouldn’t need as much normal sweetener. You can usually find conversion information on the website of the brand of sweetener you are using
Beth HendersonWednesday 3rd May 2017
Hi. I cooked these last week but the middle was quite soggy and had a strange texture. Is this what happens or should I have put them in for longer?
VanessaSunday 30th April 2017
Can I make these without a waffle maker? Thanks Vanessa
KateWednesday 3rd May 2017
Hi Vanessa
Yes, you can you a silicone waffle mould or a waffle maker
ElaineSaturday 29th April 2017
Tried these this morning. Had run out of vanilla extract but it didn’t matter. They were delicious.
KateWednesday 3rd May 2017
Hi Elaine
Glad you like them
JackieSunday 2nd April 2017
Do you have to put sweetener in.
KellySunday 2nd April 2017
Hello, a lot of your recipes use a food processor which I don’t have. Are you able to blend the oats the make them finer?
Jaime HallTuesday 28th March 2017
Hi, has anyone used a waffle maker for this? I have one and it makes them very soggy. If anyone has used the maker any tips? Thanks.
KateFriday 31st March 2017
Hi Jaime
We’ve not tried, but we know others have. Cooking in a waffle mould would probably dry them out a bit more than a waffle maker so you may need to reduce the liquid, egg and/or yogurt so it binds together a bit better.
DiMonday 27th March 2017
Ola!
Has anyone successfully ‘waffled’ these in a waffle maker?
If yes, could I ask what times you used?
I’m going to have a try later, so come what may, will try and post times on here
KateFriday 31st March 2017
Hi Di
We’ve not tried, but we know others have. You may need to reduce the liquid, egg and/or yogurt so it binds together a bit better
LisaSaturday 18th March 2017
Hi I made these as per the recipe however they turned out soggy in the middle why is that ? I cooked for 25 mins then turned out and cooked for another 10 mins
Thanks in advance
KateThursday 23rd March 2017
Hi Lisa
The consistency of waffles and baked oats can be a bit of a personal preference really, so if you find them a bit soggy you could try using 1 egg instead of 2.
Sharon stanleyThursday 2nd March 2017
Could we use tablet sweetener freely as well for a sweeter taste ?
JacquiThursday 23rd February 2017
I’m just trying these now hope they are as nice as they look
Emma TTuesday 12th September 2017
Hi Jacqui,
Hope you enjoyed them!
Sarah BradshawSunday 5th February 2017
Hi Kate, these waffles look amazing! How long would you recommend if I were to cook the mixture in a waffle maker? Thanks hun. X
didouceFriday 27th January 2017
For 4 people, do you really use 8 eggs and 700g of yogurt? that seems a lot!
JaneFriday 27th January 2017
Could you freeze these and toast them later?
KateFriday 27th January 2017
Hi Jane
We’ve never tried, but I don’t see why you wouldn’t be able to batch cook them, freeze them and then just toast/reheat them when you want. let us know how you get on if you try 🙂
LizTuesday 12th September 2017
I freeze them as I make up a.big batch, then just take them out when required. Pop in toaster, or a dry frying pan, they’re lovely
Lizzi BradleyTuesday 17th January 2017
Yum!
KaySaturday 11th February 2017
????
CharlotteMonday 9th January 2017
What volume of milk would you recommend if I didn’t want to use the yoghurt please?
brendaMonday 2nd January 2017
hi how can i blitz the oats if i dont have a food processor,
KateTuesday 3rd January 2017
Hi Brenda, you could try a stick blender, but you could also do it without blitzing the oats, the texture won’t be as smooth but they will still turn out fine 🙂
NikkiSaturday 22nd October 2016
You need to amend the oats to 40g now
KarinaWednesday 12th October 2016
Just wondering if it fills all 5 sections of the mould using the recipe or should I double it? I want to make enough for me, my husband and son.
PaulaSunday 9th October 2016
Would these work as well in a waffle machine? Mine cooks waffles in five minutes and I see these take 15.
SusanSunday 11th September 2016
Just had these for my breakfast absolutely delicious. Didnt have vanilla flavoiring so used salted caramel instead. I was worried that they wouldnt come out of the mould ok but they looked amazing. Will definitely be making them again.
Kathy BleakleyTuesday 23rd August 2016
Made these today delicious, added some more fat free yoghurt and frozen fruit, very filling. Bought the mould from Amazon and so easy to use
EmmaMonday 22nd August 2016
This is a great recipe-have made it a few times & they worked really well:)
Jennifer TaylorMonday 8th August 2016
Do you think this would work with carrot cake recipe? Or too chunky? X
Vickey LoweMonday 1st August 2016
Hiya, really glad you found out about the blitzed oats as I found a recipe for mug cake with them and hadn’t had a chance to ring. Looking forward to trying the waffles and have ordered the mould. Thank you x
