This is the best waffle recipe that I’ve made at home. Common ingredients are stirred together to make these hearty and Easy Oatmeal Waffles!
My family loves this easy breakfast or brunch served with fresh fruit and maple syrup for an absolutely delightful meal!
Oatmeal Waffles
I’ve been making these Oatmeal Waffles regularly for at least 15 years because they are amazing! The oatmeal and whole-grain flaxseed in the waffles helps keep me full much longer throughout the morning than a classic waffle. Serve with Air Fryer Candied Bacon for an amazing breakfast!
These waffles have so much flavor in every bite. I love the heartiness the oats and flaxseed add as well as the aromatic flavor from the cinnamon. There is very little brown sugar and salt is optional making the recipe healthier without sacrificing flavor.
I’m a carb lover, especially for breakfast or a mid-morning snack whether it’s our Farmhouse Blueberry Muffins, Carrot Bread, or Bran & Raisin Molasses Muffins I crave carbs!
Maple syrup is my favorite topping, but I also love melting peanut butter and adding chocolate syrup just like we do to pancakes for breakfast for dinner. Fresh fruit is a must!
Just like our Hearty Vegetable Pasta Bake this recipe also works great when served with scrambled eggs or a cheese omelet for a Friday lunch or dinner during Lent.
I use this batter bowl to melt the butter in first and then I add the other ingredients and stir well! In less than 20 minutes breakfast is on the table!
We have an Oster waffle iron or waffle maker that takes a 3/4 cup of batter and makes 5 nice sized round waffles out of this recipe.

Homemade Freezer Waffle Recipe
We are sheltering at home right now, so I’m making more easy homemade breakfast recipes like this, our French Toast Casserole and Egg, Sausage & Brioche Casserole. If this keeps up I would be smart to make a few extra batches of all of these recipes to have freezer waffles and other easy breakfasts on hand.
These waffles reheat very well cut in half in the toaster, but now that I have a Cuisinart Air Fryer & Toaster Oven it is perfect for toasting extras because the entire waffle will easily fit on the tray to toast.
Extras can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 – 5 days and up to 3 months in the freezer. Make sure that each waffle has cooled in a single layer before stacking up to refrigerate or freeze or there could be a lot of condensation.
Tips for Making the Best Oatmeal Waffles
- Use quick oats as rolled or old fashioned oats can get a bit too chewy
- Reheats well in the toaster or toaster oven
- Lightly grease waffle maker in between each waffle to prevent sticking
- Use a fork and spatula to remove the waffles from the waffle maker and prevent breaking
- Add a pat of butter and drizzle real maple syrup for an amazing breakfast
- Serve with fresh bananas, strawberries and blueberries
How to Make Oatmeal Waffles
Stir together melted butter, slightly beaten eggs and brown sugar. Add dry ingredients and mix well.
Stir in milk and mix well.
My waffle maker takes a 3/4 cup measuring cup full of batter. Any more will make batter run over the edges which is messy to clean up.
I like to cook a little longer after the light on the waffle maker goes off indicating the waffles are done. When I plan to serve the waffles immediately I like to bake them a bit longer to get a bit darker brown in color.
When I plan to refrigerate or freeze the waffles I like to remove them as soon as the light says it’s done so the waffles can toast when being reheated.

These were really good and I was able to sneak a little healthy ingredients in that my husband didn’t even notice (oats & flaxseed) Made two and froze the rest for another day.
So glad to hear this! Thanks so much for sharing!
My family loves these waffles. I adjusted the leavening and use half milk and half plain yogurt to make them even better. I usually double the recipe and have lots in the freezer.
