I’ll be honest, I always find myself hungry a few hours after having waffles for breakfast. Not these waffles, though! With super-filling oatmeal and protein-packed Greek yogurt, I am good-to-go until lunchtime! Enjoy these waffles for breakfast or for a hearty snack to get you through the afternoon. The best part? The strawberries can be swapped out for any type of berry – blackberries, blueberries, or raspberries. Don’t have a waffle iron? No problem, the batter makes for a great pancake as well!
