My family loves these waffles fresh off the waffle iron or pulled out of the freezer and popped in the toaster.
Shortly after my husband and I got married, we purchased a waffle maker, and I started testing and making different waffle recipes. We would even bring it on vacation with us so we didn’t have to buy breakfast every morning. Then we had our son, who turned out to be a picky eater, and he refused to eat my waffles, which tempered my enthusiasm for making them. He’d only eat the Eggo Nutri-Grain waffles. So eventually, I decided to change from my square waffle-maker to a round one so they would be the shape he was used to, and it worked! He loves these waffles so much, he’ll even eat them without syrup (which he never did with the Eggo waffles). And they’re so healthy that I don’t have to worry about what I’m putting into his body. So I usually make a double-batch and freeze the extras so I can just pop them in the toaster in the morning before school, and feel good knowing that he’s had a good breakfast.
Ingredients
- 1 cup organic whole wheat pastry flour
- 3/4 cup rolled oats
- 1/8 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/2 cup golden flaxseed meal
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp fine salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup walnut oil (canola oil or peanut oil will also work)
- maple syrup
Method
Preheat the waffle iron. Whisk flour, oats, brown sugar, flaxseed meal, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl. In a big measuring cup or small bowl, mix milk, oil, and eggs.
Gently combine the mixtures of dry ingredients and wet ingredients. Pour the batter on the preheated waffle iron. The amount of batter will depend on the size of your waffle iron, but generally, it should be about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of batter per waffle.
Cook until crispy, about 3-5 minutes. Serve with maple syrup, berries, or your favorite waffle toppings.
If you plan on freezing any extra waffles, let them cool down completely, then layer with saran wrap, foil, or parchment paper in between so they don’t stick together.
