Ingredients

• 2 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 cups Buttermilk
• 2 Eggs
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
• 0 Nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

In a blender or food processor, pulse the rolled oats until they form a fine flour-like consistency. This will replace some of the regular flour in the recipe and add a hearty texture.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the ground oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and honey (or maple syrup) until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while stirring, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix, as this could make the waffles tough.

Step 5

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly coat the waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 6

Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron (adjust based on the size of your waffle maker) and spread evenly. Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, typically 4-5 minutes per batch.

Step 7

Carefully remove the waffles and place them on a wire rack to cool while you cook the remaining batter.

Step 8

To freeze for later, arrange the cooled waffles in a single layer on a baking sheet and place in the freezer for 1-2 hours. Once frozen, transfer the waffles to a freezer-safe bag or container, separating layers with parchment paper.

Step 9

To reheat, toast the frozen waffles in a toaster or bake in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 8-10 minutes until heated through and crispy.

Step 10

Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, yogurt, or syrup. Enjoy!
