Syn Free Classic Belgian Waffles | Slimming World Recipes (2024)

Whether it is for breakfast or dessert - these Syn FreeClassic Belgian Waffles are delicious

I moved to Canada back in 2008 and fast became accustomed to pancakes or waffles for breakfast with maple syrup. So one thing that was important to me on my Slimming World journey was a low syn pancake recipe I could enjoy without blowing my daily syn allowance.

So back in 2009 my Low Syn American Pancakes recipe was born and boy is it a good one, the pancakes are light fluffy and really yummy.

Since I posted that recipe, many similar pancakes recipes followed. There are even some other ones on here, such as:

• Red Velvet Pancakes
• Pumpkin Pancakes
• Chocolate Pancakes
• Crepe Style Pancakes
• Cottage Cheese Pancakes
• Mini Chocolate Banana Pancakes

Then from there also came the following waffles recipes:

• Chocolate Waffles
• Pumpkin Waffles
• French Toast Waffles

My first purchase was a traditional waffles iron like this Belgian Waffle Maker on Amazon. I love it's traditional round shape which is perfect for waffles for breakfast. This mixture for this recipe will pretty much fill the whole waffle maker if you have one of those shaped waffle makers.

I have since upgraded to a new waffle maker, which makes traditional square shaped Belgian Waffles like thisAndrew James Belgian Waffle Maker.

A temperature control, might seem unnecessary, but it really does come in handy if you are going to be using it for different things. For example, when doing hash brown waffles I use a high temp, but for these Syn Free Belgian waffles, I use a low/medium temp. I also prefer the square shape waffle. But really a waffle is a waffle whatever shape you have.

However the mix for my American Style Pancakes is not the right consistency to work in the waffle iron, so I was a little disappointed I couldn't use that mix to make waffles and so bought some silicone waffle molds. But have to say I hated them, the smell from the silicone when baking, tends to scent everything with a horrid taste and I stopped using silicone bakeware for that reason.

So it was back to the waffle iron for making waffles using myrecipes above.

However, I was determined to getmy pancake recipe to work in the waffle iron, so made a couple of smalladjustments, mainly using only one egg and a little less yoghurt and viola!! - perfect Classic Belgian Waffles. These areseriously yummy, served with fresh fruit and a drizzle of maple syrup - hey you know me and my maple syrup. I do live in Canada after all. We have maple syrup on literally everything.

It's important to finely blitz the oats for these Classic Belgian Waffles. I use myNutri Ninja Blender withAuto IQ (click to see me on amazon). This blender is amazing. The auto iq technology feature, mean it blends to a set pattern, depending on what it is your are making.

I know I have seen a few comments that some are worried that blending oats is a tweak, but it really isn't. Oats are a measured Healthy Extra B Allowance, so there is no possible way to over consume these, you can't go over the allowance you are allowed each day unless of course you are going to syn any extra and blitzing them doesn't change their filling power.

For the flavouring I added a teeny bit of almond extract, but you really can use any flavouring you like - cinnamon, vanilla, coconut etc to compliment whatever you are serving with them.

To keep these Classic Belgian Waffles free from artificial sweeteners, I like to use plain yoghurt, I don't use a flavoured yoghurt, I just add a little bit of sukrin: 1 (a natural sweetener with no aftertaste) and that is perfectly enough. I find flavoured fat free yoghurts, can give these a weird taste and you want them to taste like waffles, right?
