Equipment

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup old fashioned oats
2 tablespoons sugar
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ¾ cups buttermilk
2 eggs
4 Tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking powder, cinnamon, sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla.
Add the wet ingredients to the oat mixture, making sure to stir it until it’s just combined. It will be thick and there might be some lumps. That’s okay.
Preheat your waffle maker and spray the plates with a nonstick oil based spray. I like using a measuring cup to portion out and pour the batter into my waffle maker so that I don’t overfill and all my waffles come out evenly. Each waffle maker is different in the amount of batter it will take.
Cook according to your waffle maker’s guidelines and then carefully remove with a fork.

Notes

This recipe uses old fashioned oats. This gives the finished waffles more oat texture. If you don’t have old fashioned oats or would prefer a finer texture, you can use quick oats or even oat flour, but you may need to cut back on the amount of buttermilk used.

Steel Cut Oats will not work in this recipe.
