Description
Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, these maple oat waffle squares are a cozy breakfast favorite made with hearty oats, warm cinnamon, and sweet maple syrup.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle maker to medium-high heat.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, maple syrup, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring until just mixed. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
- Lightly grease the waffle maker and pour in the batter, spreading evenly.
- Cook until golden brown and crisp, about 4–5 minutes depending on your waffle maker.
- Let cool slightly before cutting into squares and serving with extra maple syrup or toppings of choice.
Notes
- Use real maple syrup for best flavor.
- Resting the batter helps the oats absorb liquid, making waffles fluffier.
- Toast leftovers to revive crispness.
- Freeze cooked waffles for up to 2 months.
