Oat Waffles

Waffles are the perfect Saturday morning breakfast, or the perfect summertime dessert! I really like this recipe that includes oat flour to give the waffles a little more whole grain goodness.

I make the oat flour by grinding up oatmeal in my mini chopper. It doesn't have to be super-fine, just pulse/grind it a few times in a chopper or food processor.



If you decide you want to make these often, you can make a whole bunch of oat flour at one time and keep it in an airtight container.

For the waffles, first whisk together the milk and the eggs.



Then whisk in the oil and the vanilla. Add the oat flour and the regular flour.



Add the baking powder and salt.



Whisk until the dry ingredients are combined with the wet. Pour into the waffle iron. I usually use a ladle to make it easier and to control the amount - I hate cleaning up spilled over batter!



Bake according to your waffle maker's directions. Enjoy with fresh fruit, syrup or your favorite toppings!
