Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Belgian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of rolled oats, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until they are well combined and free of lumps.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of buttermilk, 2 large eggs, and 1/4 cup of melted butter until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. If needed, lightly grease the waffle iron with a small amount of cooking spray or melted butter to prevent sticking.
- Once the waffle iron is hot, pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the center of the waffle iron, typically about 1/2 to 3/4 cup, depending on the size of your waffle iron. Close the lid and cook according to your waffle iron's instructions, usually for about 4-5 minutes or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
- Carefully remove the waffle from the iron and place it on a wire rack to keep it warm while you cook the remaining waffles. This prevents them from getting soggy.
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron as needed, until all the waffles are cooked.
- Serve the oatmeal buttermilk Belgian waffles warm, topped with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, whipped cream, or nuts.
Tips
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, stir until just combined. A few lumps are perfectly fine and will lead to fluffier waffles.
- Preheat the Waffle Iron: Ensure your waffle iron is fully preheated before pouring in the batter. This helps achieve that golden-brown, crispy exterior we all love.
- Grease the Waffle Iron: If your waffle iron tends to stick, lightly grease it with cooking spray or melted butter before each batch. This will ensure easy release and perfect waffles every time.
- Keep Waffles Warm: As you cook the waffles, place them on a wire rack instead of stacking them. This allows air circulation, keeping them warm and preventing sogginess.
- Experiment with Toppings: While these waffles are delicious on their own, don’t hesitate to get creative with toppings! Fresh fruits, maple syrup, yogurt, or even a sprinkle of nuts can take your breakfast to the next level.
