Start your day right with these wholesome and delicious whole grain waffles. Made with a combination of whole wheat flour and oats, these waffles are packed with fiber and nutrients. They are also low in sugar and can be customized with your favorite toppings. Whether you enjoy them fresh off the griddle or freeze them for later, these waffles are a perfect way to fuel your day.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and eggs.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  4. Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease with non-stick spray or butter.
  5. Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, using about 1/2 cup of batter for each waffle.
  6. Close the lid and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
  7. Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and repeat with the remaining batter.
  8. Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, yogurt, or nuts.
