Oatmeal Waffles

I love waffles. My husband would probably rather have pancakes, but since I'm the one usually making breakfast...
I love oatmeal....with brown sugar and cinnamon. Not plain. I don't know how those health food people eat it plain.
     When I saw this recipe for oatmeal waffles, I knew I had to try them. The recipe includes brown sugar and cinnamon, so how could it be bad. Plus, oatmeal is so healthy...and I'm sure there is not enough sugar, butter, and syrup for you to convince me otherwise.
     The verdict? I thought they were great. Next time, I might add a little more milk to make up for the wheat flour added in. If you use all white flour, you probably wouldn't need that. J thought they were better than our regular waffles. We will make them again.

As a side note, sorry about the quality of photo. Camera issues-so frustrating! This one was taken with our mini-camcorder which is really difficult to hold steady.

1-1/2 c flour (half wheat, half white)
1 c quick oats (I used old-fashioned and they turned out fine)
1 Tbl baking powder
1-1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
2 eggs
1-1/2 c milk
6 Tbl melted butter
2 Tbl brown sugar
  • In large bowl, combine dry ingredients. Set aside.
  • In small bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, butter, and brown sugar. Add to flour mixture. Stir till combined.
  • Coat waffle iron with oil if necessary. Pour batter onto hot waffle iron. Close lid and remove with fork when done.
