Oatmeal Waffles

Very good waffles. I used only about 4T butter and added a teaspoon of vanilla and they tasted great. My 4 year old and wife both gave the thumbs up. As a bonus, I let the leftovers cool, then froze them. Just pop in the microwave and they make a nice school day breakfast.

These are really good! They had a great texture, crispy outside and fluffy inside, even though I made them 100% whole grain. Used old-fashioned rolled oats, 1 cup whole grain oat flour, and 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour. I cut the butter down to 4 TSP. and used skim milk, and half the sugar (since I knew we'd put syrup on them anyway). My kids loved them too. They made a delicious, filling Saturday breakfast along with some bacon.

5 stars for sure! Everyone in my house said they were the best waffles they've ever had. I used 1 cup white flour, 1/2 cup wheat flour, 3/4 cup oatmeal and 1/4 flaxseed mill. We'll be making these again and again. I'll be doubling the recipe from now on so we'll have plenty of leftovers for school day breakfasts.

Great recipe! My husband, who normally does not like waffles or pancakes, loved them - and so did our 1-year old son. I keep them frozen and just pop one in the toaster as a good snack. Instead of all white flour, I used 3/4 cup whole wheat flour and 3/4 white flour - just to make them a little more healthy.

I made them exactly as written, and they came out just a little bit thick and heavy. I might add a bit more milk next time to thin the batter just a touch. My husband loved them. He said they weren't just sugar-coated puffed air like most waffles. These were heavy and dense and filling, and the taste was good. We like the oats. Next time we might sub in half whole wheat flour to get more whole grains in. The kids loved them too.

Excellent! These tasted healthy and filling, but still delicious-- not always an easy feat. The second time I made these, I subbed 1/2 cup of wheat bran for flour, and 1/4 cup of milled flax seed for oats. Added 1 tsp. of vanilla and halved the sugar, and we liked it even better. Thanks!

These cooked up light and fluffy, my family really enjoyed them. I used buttermilk instead of plain milk and I used oat bran in place of the rolled oats. I also had to add an extra 1/4 c. of buttermilk to thin the batter a little. There is no amount of brown sugar listed in the ingredient list so I added 1/4 c. (1/2 c. when doubled) I doubled the recipe for my big crew.

Juat terrific!. They smell heavenly cooking and the crunch that the oatmeal adds is just right.

They are the best waffles i've ever made. I used half whole wheat flour, sub vanilla for cinnamon and enjoied with cream cheese and blackberry syrup... great brunch... thanks for the recipe

Absolutely delicious, the perfect amount of sweetness. These put bisquick to shame.

Now these are my kind of waffles. Oatmeal and cinnamon - yum! They are crisp on the outside and a little chewy on the inside from the oats. They stay crisp too, even after pouring on syrup. It is a thick batter and I ended up adding a little more milk, but they turned out great. As always, I recommend using an aluminum-free baking powder for waffles and pancakes.

Pretty tasty. I halved the recipe and used whole grain wheat flour. Next time I'll be sure to get quick cooking oats (vs. the old fashion ones I used), since they stayed a bit hard. Thanks for sharing.

LOVE THEM!!! My kids couldn't get enough, I used wheat flour for all purpose and they turned out great. Thank you for the recipe!

Made them once as shown; that's the rating I gave. Second time added about 1/3 c fine chopped walnuts, and 1/2 c dried cranberries; and used 1/2 c oat flour for 1/2 c of the regular flour. I'd give that a 5 star rating as it had more pizzaz. Either way, it's an easy and delicious alternative to the norm.

Everyone loved it! Cooked nice and golden crisp. I cut butter back from 6 tbs to 4 and cut brown sugar in half. I added a little extra milk. I used rice milk instead. I always to that in my baking. I am going to try using some wheat flour next time.

Wonderful! Also great subbing wheat flour for part of it. We've also tried adding blueberries or chocolate chips, and it's just great! I love that these waffles stay crisp - other recipes seem to get soggy a couple minutes after they're out of the waffle iron, but these stay nice!

Easy and tasty, with little chewy bits for the oatmeal! I had this with strawberries and whipped cream and enjoyed it!

The cinnamon fights with the maple syrup taste, so I Cannot vote it better than a Bisquick waffle, but the oatmeal and overall waffle were good.

Last time I home-made waffles they were ok. We had leftovers which I ate for the next few days. This time, we devoured them all in one sitting! They were soooo good!

We love this recipe. I changed it up a bit and reduced the butter to 4 T and replaced all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour and they came out great. We also add more spices like nutmeg, ginger, allspice, cloves. We sometimes add ground flaxseed for the Omega-3.

Made these exactly as written. They were just "okay." For us, there was way too much cinnamon and I would have to tweak the recipe quite a bit to give it five stars.

Oh wow these were delicious! I doubled the brown sugar though. The batter is thick, it almost looks like cooked oatmeal, but it cooks up beautifully in the waffle maker. We had these with warm real maple syrup. Will definitely make these again, great for a Sunday breakfast!

Very filling, crisp on the outside but soft on the inside. Quick and easy but taste great!

Tasty and hearty! Good way for me to get my husband to eat fiber. Needs more cinnamon and vanilla. We also included chopped pecans.

These were so good and very hearty. Instead of using all-purpose flour I used white whole wheat flour to make them 100% whole grain. I added a 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract to the batter and that gave them a really nice flavor. I topped the waffles with lots of butter and pure maple syrup to make the perfect fall breakfast. One thing we really liked about these waffles is that you don't feel as guilty as eating them as all white flour waffles since they are full of much better for you whole grains. Thanks for the great and very easy recipe!

great recipe :) it made more than 6 servings so that was good. i made it in the waffle maker then toasted it after. i like mine crunchy :) everyone loved it! thanks __Alexus

The addition of the cinnamon was perfect. I slightly chopped the oatmeal in the blender, then soaked them in the milk over half an hour to soften the oats. I topped the waffles with strawberries because that is what I had on hand, but this would be a perfect fall breakfast served with “Sauteed Apples”, a fabulous recipe - http://allrecipes.com/recipe/sauteed-apples/reviews.aspx. These were wonderful and I’ll be making these often during apple picking season.

I was looking for a healthy waffle recipe and decided to try this one, using white wheat flour instead of all-purpose and adding vanilla. They were a bit heavy but very, very filling. I didn't feel hungry again for hours. I will make them again.

This recipe is perfect. The waffles are a great texture and have amazing flavor. You can add berries to the mix for a special treat. I freeze uneaten waffles then heat them in the toaster for a quick breakfast during the week. Delicious!

Delicious! I also tried using apple sauce instead of butter and they came out great, fluffy and yummy.

Loved them!

Tasted a little dense but over all they were good.

Very hearty!

This is our go to waffle recipe now. It is really good made with our gluten free flour recipe. The oats give it a hearty boost that is sometimes missing from when using the light rice flours.

WONDERFUL! I made these yesterday in our thin waffle iron. I served them with applesauce instead of syrup and they were a big hit. I also used oatmeal with extra added fiber, so they are better for you. We had them again this morning. The better half asked me to make a double batch to keep in the freezer to take to work. They are SO filling. This is a keeper.

Wow! Only added a splash of vanilla. These were much heartier than typical waffles, but still had enough sweetness to fill that craving. They tasted amazing with fresh strawberries. I doubled the batter and froze half, so I hope they are just as good in the toaster.

They came out squishy and not crispy. Will have to try again in a different way.

I completely enjoyed this recipe! I made a minor adjustment, I didn't have quick cooking oats, so with the old fashioned oats, I soaked the 1 cup oats with 1 cup milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla for about 10 minutes. Then using the rest of the half cup milk, followed the recipe as is. So in other words, the recipe called for 1 1/2 cup milk, the one cup I used soak the oats and the rest was used in the recipe, no more, no less. I used a large round waffle iron and it made 4 large waffles with these ingredients. It was delicious!

We loved these ... great texture and easy to make!

These were ok, following the recipe. Nothing extraordinary.

So great I make a huge batch, freeze them, and enjoy waffles with my 1 year old in the mornings for weeks after :)

Pretty good.

These waffles are so AMAZING that I can't even wait until I'm done eating them to rate them! They are the BEST waffles I have ever had. Followed the recipe exactly. Light & fluffy inside, slight golden crisp to the outside. Topped with maple syrup, fresh raspberries, and a sprinkle of powdered sugar. TO DIE FOR! Will never use Bisquik or any other recipe ever again!

Entirely excellent. I subbed in 1/2 c whole wheat flour for part of the AP, otherwise followed to a t. They came out fluffy and delicious.

5* for ease of preparation; 4* for taste; 3* for consistency - which may probably just be something you have to get used to. We used a belgium waffle iron which made them thicker, so perhaps that's a contributing factor to the texture thing as well. As others have mentioned, they do have an 'oatmeal cookie' type of taste. Only change was to add splash of vanilla. While these weren't knock your socks off great, they are *good*. For those trying to incorporate more fiber or oats into their daily menu, I'd highly recommend.

Great tasting, easy to make. I just threw everything in the bowl in order, mixed enough to have an even consistency, then poured into the waffle iron. I didn't have butter so I subbed 1/4 cup sunflower oil. They are nice and moist thanks to the oatmeal, but crispy outside.

Really good. Hits the spot when you want a warm, hearty waffle for breakfast.

I "ground" the oats down to a fine consistancy (think similar to whole wheat flour) before I used it in this recipe. I didn't realize until after I'd added the oatmeal to the combined wet ingredients that I'd flip-flopped the amounts of the oatmeal and the flour. No big deal, they still turned out fabulous. The smell of these cooking was insane. My family LOVED them. NOTE: The recipe does not tell you to let the batter sit five-ten minutes to allow time for the oats to soak up some of the additional liquid. You must do this or it will not be as thick as it needs to be. This recipe made eight full waffles. For us, this served four.

Oatmeal Waffles Haiku: "Hearty, yet fluffy. Nice texture, and a great taste. Love the cinnamon!" Followed recipe to the letter and was pleasantly surprised that these waffles weren't heavy and dense. Just as with a bowl of oatmeal, these waffles are easily complimented by just about any type of fruit topping, making them a fine choice for different weekend breakfast styles. Thanks for a great recipe Marna!

Replaced the butter with applesauce. The waffles are hearty and filling, but very tasty. Applesauce keeps them moist, even when reheated. Excellent!!

I would have given this recipe 5 stars if I didn't have to altar it at all. The taste was superb though! I added 2 tsp of vanilla, sorry, I have have to have vanilla in waffles and the mix was far too thick. I added another 1/2 cup of milk and they cooked up nicely. I used whole wheat white flour also.

I used all wheat flour, 4 tbsp butter and 1/2 tsp vanilla. They were really dense. Next time I would use 50/50 white and wheat flour and some extra milk

Turned out nice. Next time I'll add a little more cinnamon.

4.5 stars: This healthy waffle recipe makes 5 round belgian waffles. I used freshly chopped walnuts sprinkled over batter before baking then topped with thin slices of banana & strawberry. Topped with drizzle of real maple syrup, a dollop of whipped cream and whole blueberries. Undercook remainders and freeze. Cut in half to put in toaster for a quick, healthy 2 minute breakfast. A new favorite here!

These were wonderful - I've finally found my go-to-recipe for waffles. The only thing I changed was sub. 1/2 cup whole wheat flour for 1/2 cup of the all-purpose (just enough to be a little healthier but not enough for my picky eater to notice). And a little extra cinnamon because I love it.

Wonderful! make sure you use white syrup if using syrup. The flavors come out more than with a maple syrup.

Yummy yum yum! I only use old fashioned oat meal so that's what I used. The oatmeal didn't have time to soften. I put the batter in the frig to use the next day. Wow! Was it excellent then because the oats had a chance to soften up. This weekend, I made the batter Friday night and put it in the frig to use Saturday and Sunday morning. It was so good. That's what I will be doing from now on. It's so quick to throw it together the night before and it was so creamy and nice the next morning. I did add a bit more milk like other reviewers suggested. The waffles are hearty but not too heavy and rich, but not too rich. I have been looking for a waffle recipe that I liked for quite a while. This one is the one I've been searching for. Thanks Marna.

These were really good! I have never had waffles with oatmeal in them. They smelled good to with the cinnamon. I was able to get 4 large waffles out of the batter, but honestly 1/2 of one is filling with a side of bacon. I served it with pure maple syrup and maple flavor bacon. Delicious! TY

very good... may try blending oats first into powder next time.

These are awesome! I made them gluten free for a baby shower recently. I used Pamela's Gluten Free pancake mix in place of the flour. Other than that, I made the recipe exactly as shown and several people asked for the recipe. This is a keeper, thanks for sharing the recipe!

Used canola instead of butter. Everyone loved this.

just bought a waffle stick maker and was browsing for fun recipes. We love oatmeal and this recipe is outstanding. It's so good, and so easy to make. This is officially my number 1 waffle recipe. thank you !

Wow! These waffles were fluffy and tasty. I will definitely be making these again!

I made these for family and no one liked them except for me. There was definitely a different consistency to these. They tasted healthy and maybe that's why my guests and family didn't care for them.

So good! I make these about once a week. I double the sugar and vanilla. I recently added a tablespoon of coacoa powder to make a chocolatey variation. It was great too!

Made exactly as written, and this makes one super delicious Waffle, Will make again many more times for sure!!

These were yummy and very hearty! The only change I made was using oil instead of butter and they turned out great. Will make again.

We both liked these as a change from ordinary waffles. The slightly sweet taste means they can be eaten without syrup and with only a little butter or some fruit. I found that the automatic setting on my waffle iron beeped before the waffles were browned much, so I gave them a little more time to make the outside crisper. These are not a light, crisp waffle as ones made with the usual ingredients are--not that that's bad, just a comment so others will know. I liked the little bit of crunch the oatmeal gave them. Would definitely make again.

These were really good-a hit with the whole family. No one even suspected they might be healthified.

Very easy recipe. Made it for the whole family...everyone had seconds and thirds! Nice heavy texture to them. I didn't change a thing! Excellent!

Add a handful of blueberries and you have a perfect waffle.

good, love it that u can freeze it and even though it have oat it doesn't taste too much of an oat. my first success waffle, the only negative that it should eaten right after it done so it still crispy.

This was ok, not my favorite. Followed recipe exactly, a little too sweet for my tastes. Probably won't make again.

I used 1 cup oat flour with 1/2 cup white flour. Really good.

So easy my 5 year old could make it. Added vanilla and used one egg and egg white sub. Yummy!

These were really good. I didn't have quick cooking oats, so I boiled the milk and threw a cup of old fashioned oats in. I ended up having to add more milk though to get the right texture. I used 2TBSP butter and 2TBSP canola oil. Also, I wanted it to be more like oatmeal raisin cookies, so I added raisins and butterscotch chips. The chips kind of made a mess, so next time I think I'll throw them on top after they comeout of the waffle iron. Will def make again!

This is a great recipe. My kids love them and I havent told them they have oats! Not as light as some less healthy waffles but delicicious!

Thatsa lotta butter! It can probably be cut back. I substituted one packet of maple and brown sugar instant oatmeal and omitted the rolled oats, sugar and cinnamon. It made perfectly fine waffles. If you want it sweeter or crunchier, you could probably add a second packet.

really good

These were really good. I added a tsp of vanilla. The batter was a bit thick, which is to be expected I'm sure. I added a bit of water. This will probably be our default waffle recipe. That's for posting it!

I really liked this and best of all my family of picky eaters who are afraid of anything that may be remotely healthy! They were filling too, so everyone only ate 1 - which meant we had leftovers for the toaster the next day!

I thought these waffles were very good and hearty. I added a grated apple to the batter. My husband never likes anything different and commented "What's wrong with the ones you made before" meaning "Mom's Best Waffles" which are good too. I told him I wanted a change. I will make these oatmeal waffles for myself and freeze the extras next time.

My seven year old, my three year old and I unanimously exclaimed, "YUM!!!!" as we ate our first bite. YUM!!!

Awsome waffles we just thought there was a bit too much cinnamon so will use less next time we make them. My boys had blueberries in one batch and chocolate chips in another and they both liked them but both said too much cinnamon. We will definitely make these again

It is no doubt better than the version I tweaked out of it. I used the blender to process old fashioned oats, changed the sugar to splenda, and cut the recipe in half. I gave it 4 stars but my version would get no more than 3 as it was very bland and flavorless. Would vanilla perk it up for me? I may try this again as I'm always looking for oatmeal recipes and have really wanted to find success with oatmeal waffles. I use a 7 1/2 inch waffle iron and half the original recipe only gave me 2 unfilled waffles. (They don't spread much after pouring.) I think the full recipe would only give me 3 not 6 waffles. This definitely is healthy though.

Love these! We topped them with reall maple syrup and they were out of this world. The flavors of cinnamon and maple combined with the crispy oats were amazing. We used fresh ground wheat flour and they were still delicious. I also whipped the egg whites separately and folded them in at the end. Definitely a keeper!

My husband said these are the best waffles he's had (and we really like waffles!). I think I even forgot the baking powder, but they turned out great anyway! I also used only half the butter. We have a Belgium waffle maker and this made four waffles. I had to double the recipe for our family. The kids loved them as well. Very hearty, filling, and delicious. I expect to start making these about once a month.

These were pretty good, but we didn't like them as much as other recipes from here that we've tried.

Great recipe...and an excellent way to slip a bit more fibre into the kids diet in the morning! Definitely beats the flavour of everyday boring white waffles.

My husband declared these "the best textured waffles ever!", and they tasted super yummy! I made a couple small changes - used 1/2 c. whole wheat flour and 1 c. white flour, added 1 tbsp. vanilla extract, and reduced the margarine to 4 tbsp. Otherwise the perfect, quick and easy waffle recipe that I've been looking for!

Light and Fluffy with a crunchy crust! Delicious! I doubled the recipe so I would have enough to freeze for next weekend. I added a tbs more brown sugar, used half white flour and half wheat flour and added about 1/4c of toasted wheat germ. These were the type of waffles that you don't even have to add anything to the top...you can eat them plain and they still have a great taste!! My husband said that they were very filling but not a dense waffle and they actually have flavor! I think the amount of cinnamon was great in these! My one year old LOVED them! What a nice change from the regular waffles...will make all the time now!

Even though I already added some more salt, I thought these to be too bland. So it's an okay recipe, but I will be looking for another better one.

I know people get annoyed when a reviewer rates the recipe and then makes a bunch of changes but I did make some changes and I'm still reviewing the recipe so people know that the base recipe is excellent and can withstand modifications without being ruined and IMO that is what makes it a 5 star recipe. These were healthy and delicious and I think the proportion of wet to dry ingredients was perfect. For my mods, I subbed 1 cup regular & 1/2 cup whole wheat flour, 3/4 cup coconut milk & 3/4 cup 2% regular milk and I added about a tsp of real vanilla extract and the zest of one lemon. I will be making these over and over again!

These were pretty good. I've made a few different waffle recipes in the last few years and these stood out a bit. The oats added a little heartiness, and the hint of cinnamon is different too. I made this recipe exactly as written, and it yielded 7 waffles. I didn't, however, "top with fresh fruit and yogurt" - just the usual real maple syrup.

These were a little bland.

Love them! The number of servings is misleading-I think it will really only serve 3-4 realistically.

O.K. So I bought a waffle iron a couple of days ago. This is the second recipe I tried, but I wanted it to pack even more of a nutritional punch, and I also wanted to try to do waffles the way Grandma does them - with walnuts... and my daughter wanted bananas with her walnuts, so here's what I came up with: I used 3/4 c. all-purpose and 3/4 c. whole wheat flours. I sent my oats through the food processor because they weren't quick-cooking - I had thick-rolled organic oats. I also sent 1/4 c. toasted flax seed through the food processor and added to my dry ingredients. I added 1/4 c. wheat germ. I increased the cinnamon to 3/4 t and added 1/4 t nutmeg. I used a total of 3 T sucanat. I added 2 mashed bananas to the wet ingredients. I increased the milk by about 1/4 c. as, with my other additions, the batter was on the thick side. I substituted 6 T Stonyfield Farms lowfat Banilla yogurt for the butter. I separated my eggs, whipped the whites, then folded them in after I mixed the wet with the dry ingredients. Prior to pouring the batter into the waffle iron, I sprinkled the iron with coarsely chopped roasted walnuts. All I can say is YUM! Of course it's not your traditional waffle - it is very hardy - but it worked out really well. I apologize for rating and reviewing when I made so many changes, but I wanted to share. Enjoy!

Good filling waffles.. Kids loved them... I didn't have milk in the house when I wanted to make them so I made almond milk out of fresh almonds..and they were still very good..

My husband and I enjoyed this recipe! The oatmeal makes the waffles heartier than a traditional "baking mix" waffle. Thanks for sharing.
