Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1.25 cups Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup or honey
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- as needed Cooking spray or oil (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron or heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat if making pancakes.
In a blender or food processor, blend the rolled oats into a fine flour-like consistency. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt to the bowl with the blended oats. Whisk to combine.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, maple syrup or honey, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or whisk until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine.
If the batter appears too thick, add an extra splash of milk to loosen it slightly.
For waffles: Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray or oil. Pour enough batter to cover the waffle iron’s surface (typically about 1/3 to 1/2 cup, depending on your waffle iron’s size). Close the lid and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining batter.
For pancakes: Lightly grease the skillet with cooking spray or oil. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the waffles or pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, yogurt, maple syrup, or a sprinkle of nuts.
