Chocolate Chip Waffles with Oats and Cinnamon
These chocolate chip waffles are made with 100% whole wheat flour and oats, giving you a boost of fiber that traditional waffle mixes don’t usually provide. We use white whole wheat flour to keep the color light and the flavor mild. With the addition of chocolate chips and a dash of cinnamon, you might just have a new family favorite!
Servings: 4 servings (4-8 waffles depending on waffle iron size)
Ingredients
- 1 cup white whole wheat flour
- ½ cup old fashioned oats
- 1 Tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 4 Tablespoons butter melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat waffle iron. No need to spray or grease (the butter in the batter helps the waffles come off easily).
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Add chocolate chips and mix to evenly coat.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla.
- Add liquid ingredients to dry ingredients. Using a spatula, stir to combine. Do not overmix.
- Use a portion scoop or measuring cup to scoop batter onto waffle iron. Cook according to the waffle iron's directions or until golden brown. Add toppings to your taste. Enjoy!
