Oatmeal Waffles made with whole wheat flour are a great way to start the day off with a delicious and healthy breakfast.

I am on a continuous quest to integrate more whole grains into my family’s diet. From that desire, these delicious, healthy and filling oatmeal waffles were created! We have been enjoying these yummy whole wheat and oatmeal waffles at our house for breakfast and dinner.
Remember my oatmeal pancake recipe? My family loved them and they were the inspiration for these oatmeal waffles. We enjoy our oatmeal waffles with real maple syrup and strawberries, but they are also yummy with butter, jam, or your favorite waffle topping.

How to Make Oatmeal Pancakes

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze these waffles?
Yes, I love to make them for dinner and double the batch so we have leftover waffles to freeze for busy mornings. Just let them cool before you put them in an airtight container. Then pop them into the toaster when you are ready to enjoy them.
What waffle iron do you use?
I think these waffles are at their best when cooked in a Belgian waffle maker. A Belgian waffle maker is deeper and you get a crisper waffle.
Made exclusively with whole wheat flour and old fashioned oatmeal, you might expect a heavy and dense waffle. But this recipe makes nice crisp and light waffles.

I made these. I substituted some of the milk with unsweetened applesauce and orange flavored olive oil for the canola. Also added pecans. They were quite tasty.
