There are so many family favorite recipes that I've been making for 10 years or more! This is my go-to one for waffles or pancakes. It can be changed up in so many ways. I do always add a teaspoon of vanilla, sometimes also a teaspoon of butter extract. It's great with fruit mixed in, or on top. It's a filling breakfast that isn't super heavy.
NOTES : To make pancakes: Drop batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto a hot greased griddle. Turn when bubbles begin to form on top of pancake.

My son's been bugging me to see how the waffle iron works, so this morning we made this recipe. It's a great starter recipe, and it would be awesome with some strawberries mixed in, or maybe some mashed banana. Definitely add a splash of vanilla! I topped mine with Blueberry Syrup, Jake had his with real Maple syrup we got during the season. Will definitely make this one again!

I recently got a waffle iron and have been looking for good recipes! Can't wait to try these.
ReplyDeleteI had a pretty serious waffle making addiction for a while, it's so fun to open that iron up and see that perfectly crisp-on-the-outside, fluffy-on-the-inside waffle! :)
DeleteI'll take waffles over pancakes any day...especially these! Faith, Hope, Love, & Luck - Colleen
DeleteNo matter how you make them, waffles or pancakes, they look delicious!
ReplyDeleteThose waffles look absolutely perfect!
ReplyDeleteOatmeal, whole wheat flour and molasses? I cannot wait to make these!
ReplyDeleteThese sound fantastic!
ReplyDeleteLove the addition of oatmeal to the batter - gives the waffles/pancakes a nice nutritional boost!
ReplyDeleteI make something similar and love having the oats in there - they add such a great flavor.
ReplyDeleteI have a waffle iron but it needs more use. What a great reason to pull it out of storage! And these would be great as a dessert topped with ice cream and strawberries too.
ReplyDeleteI have a new waffle maker, I think I will be making these soon! I love that they are made with oats and whole wheat flour!
