Waffles

We keep a batch of these in the freezer at all times. And I always make them the week of Thanksgiving to eat with fresh cranberry sauce — one of my favorite traditions!

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1½ cups oats
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 4 tablespoons wheat germ
  • 2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 2 pinches salt
  • 4 eggs
  • 3 cups milk
  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • ½ cup walnut oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together both flours, oats, brown sugar, wheat germ, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs. Slowly add the melted butter while whisking, then add the oil and milk.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir to combine. It will be a little lumpy.
  5. Pour batter onto the waffle iron and cook until desired doneness.  Let cool on a cooling rack.

Freezer Tips

Let waffles cool completely, then freeze. Reheat in the oven straight from frozen.
