Hot, fresh, and made from scratch with oatmeal and cinnamon, these fresh oatmeal waffles are a great breakfast for the whole family.
Add some fruit and some pure maple syrup, and it’s a treat you’ll all look forward to!
I’m a huge fan of waffles made from a boxed mix. They’re so easy to just add a few things to, and cook really quick when you have hungry people (see below) clamoring for breakfast. However, since there’s not a whole bunch of nutrition in boxed waffle mix deliciousness, I wanted to find a way to make them from scratch, but it had to be quick and easy AND taste good.
A couple of attempts, and I’m sharing the final recipe for my fresh oatmeal waffles with you!
These days, I make a double batch, and keep some in the freezer for the days where I’m low on time. They also keep well in the fridge for a few days – you simply pop them in the toaster for a quick warm up, and they’re ready to go. I LOVE this kind of breakfast!
Homemade from scratch Fresh Oatmeal Waffles – a delicious breakfast for every day!

The addition of quick cooking oatmeal to these seems to fill us up more easily, and sustain us until lunch. On the weekends, when we’re running around out of the house, it’s great to begin the day with a full belly!
A touch of cinnamon and brown sugar is essential – don’t leave that out, it makes them super tasty. Hope you like them as much as my boys do!

Ingredients
- 1-1/2 cups flour
- 1 cup quick-cooking oatmeal
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 eggs lightly beaten
- 1-1/2 cups milk
- 4 Tbs butter melted
- 1 Tbs dark brown sugar (can omit, but I wouldn't!)
To serve (optional):
- Sliced fruit
- Whipped cream
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, oatmeal, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, butter and brown sugar.
- Add wet to dry, and mix until just combined. The mixture will be thick!
- Pour batter into a lightly greased waffle iron and cook until desired colour is reached.
- Serve with whipped cream and bananas
To freeze:
- After they're cooked and completely cooled, layer waffles on top of each other separated by parchment, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and store in freezer zip lock bag.
- Don't thaw - just put in the toaster and cook until hot.

August 15, 2017 at 7:57 amI always make waffles and pancakes from scratch so I often try new recipes. I’ve added oatmeal to pancakes but never to waffles, nor brown sugar. What a great idea! We tried these and LOVED them!

October 7, 2017 at 7:57 amI’m the breakfast guy in our house, and this just gave me an excellent new meal to serve. The cinnamon really stands out and with the brown sugar gives these a super warm, cozy flavor.
A cup of coffee and two of these waffles (on a traditionally sized waffle iron) are a super way to start a rainy, northwest winter day!

All the best from Denmark
