Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Old-fashioned oats
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Pecans (chopped)
• 2 cups Buttermilk
• 2 eggs Large eggs
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0 Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
• 0 Fresh fruit (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Step 2

In a large blender, pulse the old-fashioned oats a few times until they resemble a coarse flour. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and chopped pecans to the bowl with the oat flour. Whisk thoroughly to combine.

Step 4

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 6

Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with nonstick spray or a thin layer of melted butter.

Step 7

Ladle the batter onto the waffle iron, spreading it out slightly to cover the surface. Close the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions (usually about 4-5 minutes) until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.

Step 8

Carefully remove the waffles and keep them warm in a low oven (about 200°F) while you cook the remaining batter.

Step 9

Serve the waffles warm, topped with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings.
