March 11th is National Oatmeal Nut Waffles Day, and it’s the perfect time for people to try these waffles if they haven’t before, or a perfect excuse for those who have to enjoy them again. These waffles are the perfect combination of texture and flavor.

These crisp waffles have a nutty crunch and the taste of either honey or cinnamon — depending on how the waffles are made. However, they also offer something a little better than a great culinary experience. They are usually full of fiber and may even be low in calories, making them an excellent breakfast food.
