Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1.25 cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 2 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans)
- as needed cooking spray or additional melted butter
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a blender or food processor, pulse the rolled oats until they are finely ground into oat flour.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and maple syrup (or honey) until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are fine.
Fold in the chopped nuts gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or a brush of melted butter.
Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the center of the preheated waffle iron (refer to your waffle iron's guidelines for batter quantity). Close the waffle iron and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, about 4-5 minutes per batch.
Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and place them on a wire rack to prevent them from becoming soggy while you cook the remaining batches.
Serve the waffles warm, topped with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, additional nuts, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of whipped cream.
