Child-tested and found to be super delicious and fluffy! Makes about 25 pieces.

The night before, soak 75g of ground oat bran in 100ml of cold milk and let it stand in the refrigerator overnight (12-18 hours). The next day, whisk the first 7 ingredients in the order listed (egg yolks, sugar, vanilla sugar, rum, orange peel powder, yogurt, and salt) until fluffy and roughly doubled in volume. Stir in the softened butter (creamy) and the quark (either low-fat or 20% fat is up to you). Then stir in the soaked oat bran, followed by both flours, the baking powder, and the remaining milk. Depending on the size of the eggs, you may need a little more or less flour. The batter should fall off the spoon quite thickly. Let it rest for 1/2 hour. Meanwhile, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form and fold them in after the resting time. Brush the hot waffle iron with a little oil and bake the waffles until golden brown. Let them cool on a wire rack (not on a plate, otherwise they’ll get soggy). Serve the waffles with powdered sugar, hot cherries, Nutella, etc. If you’re having children, try using rum flavoring instead. You can vary the flour types to suit one or the other—I used a bit more white flour because it already contains the healthy oat bran (so it’s not too healthy!).
