Ingredients

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 cup rolled oats

1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

2 tablespoons wheat germ

4 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Pinch fine salt

2 large eggs

1 1/2 cups milk

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup peanut or walnut oil

Maple syrup

Directions

  1. Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high.
  2. Whisk the flour with the oats, sugar, wheat germ, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl. In another medium bowl, lightly whisk the eggs, then add the milk, butter, and oil.
  3. Gently stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients with a wooden spoon, to make a batter. Take care not to overwork the batter, it's fine if there are a few lumps.
  4. Pour 1/3 to 1/2 cup of batter per waffle (it depends on the size of your waffle iron) and cook until the outside of the waffle is crisp and inside is cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. (The time varies depending on the size and spread of a waffle iron). Serve warm with maple syrup. Repeat with remaining batter.

Very good recipe. I didn't have wheat germ, so I just left it out. I was in the mood for some banana waffles so I added 2 medium bananas and cut down the milk by 1/4 cup. Also added 1 tsp more baking powder and 1 tsp vanilla extract. I'd make them again and even try some different types of ingredients. Great base recipe, but with the bananas they didn't get very crispy, if that is what you wanted.
