Ingredients
all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups (sifted)
packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons (lightly packed)
baking powder
2 teaspoons (none)
ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon (none)
salt
1/4 teaspoon (none)
quick-cooking oats
1 cup (uncooked)
eggs
2 (slightly beaten)
milk
1 1/2 cups (none)
cooking oil
1/3 cup (canola or vegetable oil)
Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sifted all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure all dry ingredients are well incorporated.
2
Add the quick-cooking oats to the flour mixture and stir until evenly distributed. Create a well in the center of the dry mixture.
3
In a separate medium bowl, slightly beat the eggs. Then stir in the milk and cooking oil until well combined.
4
Pour the egg mixture into the well of the flour mixture all at once. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix—the batter may be slightly lumpy.
5
Preheat your waffle maker and lightly grease the grid with cooking spray or oil. Pour a generous cup of batter onto the heated waffle maker grid, closing the lid quickly. Do not open the lid during baking.
6
Bake according to the manufacturer's directions until the waffles are golden brown and crisp. Carefully lift the baked waffle off the grid with a fork.
7
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle maker as needed. Serve the waffles warm, garnished with powdered sugar, maple syrup, fresh fruit, or vanilla yogurt.
