Hearty Oatmeal Waffles are a wonderful start to your weekend. This waffle batter is simple to mix up with ingredients you probably have in the house. You’ll love the flavor and texture of these delicious waffles.
I’ve started a bit of a tradition in our home of making a big, special breakfast on Saturday mornings. We often make pancakes or waffles from scratch.
My toddler asks for either pancakes or waffles almost every day for breakfast. I like to try to make healthier versions from scratch on the weekend and freeze them for easy breakfasts throughout the week.
These waffles are made with oats mixed right into the batter. It gives them such a wonderful flavor and texture! They are sweetened with just a tiny bit of brown sugar. I’ve given you some ideas for making them sugar free, dairy free and/or gluten free below as well.
I first made these waffles back when I started blogging almost 6 years ago. It was so fun to make them again with my toddler! It had been quite awhile since I made them and now I’m excited to add them back into the regular weekend breakfast rotation.
How to Make these Oatmeal Waffles Sugar Free
These waffles are sweetened with just 2 tablespoons of brown sugar. But if you would rather make them without refined sugar, you can substitute with 2 tablespoons of maple syrup or honey instead.
How to Make these Oatmeal Waffles Dairy Free
Making these waffles dairy free is easy. Use almond milk instead of regular milk and use your favorite butter substitute instead of butter.
How to Make these Oatmeal Waffles Gluten Free
Make sure that you are using gluten free oats. Instead of the wheat flour you can use your favorite gluten free flour or oat flour. Make oat flour by placing old fashioned oats in the blender and blending into a flour. I’ve also made these with a blend of oat flour and wheat flour just to cut back on the amount of wheat.
Oatmeal Waffles
Hearty Oatmeal Waffles are a wonderful start to your weekend. This waffle batter is simple to mix up with ingredients you probably have in the house. You'll love the flavor and texture of these delicious waffles.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups flour (can use GF or oat flour if desired)
- 1 cup rolled old fashioned oats
- 1 Tbsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 6 Tbsp. melted butter
- 2 Tbsp. brown sugar
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix together flour, oats, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
- In a separate small bowl, beat the eggs and add milk, butter and brown sugar.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix well. Let stand for 15 minutes.
- Pour a scoop of the batter into a heated waffle iron and bake. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Notes
Substitutions: To make these gluten free, you can use gluten free flour or oat flour instead of wheat. To make these dairy free, use almond milk instead of milk and your favorite butter substitute.
Freezing Instructions: These waffles freeze great! Let cool completely and seal in a ziploc bag in the freezer for 1-2 months. I like to reheat by placing the frozen waffle in the toaster oven and toasting for 1 or 2 cycles or until crispy.

It’s like you posted this for me~ I have way too much oatmeal in my cabinet and my kids aren’t fans of the traditional way of eating it. I’ll have to bookmark this for later. Thanks for posting!
A Savory Feast says
I hope your kids enjoy it!

Nida Sea says
These look delicious! I usually make banana waffles, so I’ll need to try these! I’m still trying to find a heart-shaped waffle iron. I have a Belgium and circular one, but the heart-shaped waffle iron is my favorite to use! I can’t wait to try this recipe!
A Savory Feast says
A heart-shaped waffle iron would be awesome! I want one!
Winnie says
These look super delicious!
I love the fact that you used oats, and everything sweet with cinnamon is definitely for me 🙂

Heather {Woods of Bell Trees} says
I totally agree, that’s what Saturday are made for! These look sooooo good! I wish I could have them NOW! Mmmmm
Megan Walker says
Yum! Do you find mixing your own waffle batter works better than a mix?
A Savory Feast says
I honestly didn’t notice too big of a difference in how it works. I just always used the boxed mix because I thought it was easier! Turns out, it is not that hard to make your own. And, you know exactly what ingredients are in it!
Jessica | Independent Travel Cats says
Jenna, these look yummy and healthy! Stopping by from Tuned in Thursdays:)
Shelly says
OMG JENNA! It was you! Very strange that I even saw that! I’ve been bouncing everywhere today and I’m glad I put these two together! ps. These look DIVINE! When I was preg and then breastfeeding I ate oatmeal at LEAST once/day. My favorite preggo version was with pb, honey and Reece’s Pieces on top!? Sigh.

They are more filling and have a great flavor, too.

These look fabulous. Great recipe and I will definitely be giving them a try this weekend. Our poor waffle machine does not get enough love. Thank you for reminding me to pull it out and knock out some healthy yummies for the kiddos.
A Savory Feast says
I definitely don’t use my waffle maker enough, either. These waffles are worth it!
