Oatmeal Butternut Waffles
Love waffles? Who doesn’t! But the refined flour and high carb content in a traditional waffle spikes our blood sugar — and people with diabetes may see high blood sugar readings after eating.
This recipe is a great blend of whole grains and high fiber veggies which help to keep you full and prevent blood sugar spikes, which would be typical after consuming traditional waffles. For patients with diabetes, avoiding morning blood sugar spikes can aid in keeping better glucose control throughout the day.
I’d recommend a serving of 2-3 waffles, with a side of poultry sausage, so you have a well-balanced meal to start your day off on the right foot for glucose control. Making these for your family? A great way to get a serving of vegetables in for your kiddos.
