The Best Buttermilk Oatmeal Waffles Recipe

Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups rolled oats
• 3 tablespoons white sugar
• 2 tablespoons baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 4 eggs, separated
• 1.5 cups buttermilk
• 1 cup milk
• 0.5 cup butter, melted
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat your waffle iron following the manufacturer's instructions for best results.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks, buttermilk, milk, and melted butter until thoroughly combined. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
3. In another bowl, beat the egg whites with vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Gently fold half of the egg whites into the waffle batter, then repeat with the remaining egg whites until just combined.
4. Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron. Cook until the waffles are golden brown, crispy, and the steaming stops, approximately 5 minutes. Transfer the waffles to a paper towel-lined plate to maintain crispness. Repeat with the remaining batter.
