National Oatmeal-Nut Waffles Day | Oatmeal-Nut Waffles
Being that it’s National Oatmeal-Nut Waffles Day, I didn’t have too much leeway on the meal I make. See, this is what I was talking about yesterday. When the food holiday is so specific, it’s hard to adventure.
Well, when it’s breakfast or baking, I need the extra help so I’ll take a specific or non-specific food holiday for them. Oatmeal-Nut Waffles are straightforward enough.
Honestly, I didn’t know how they would taste. “Healthier” waffles aren’t as appetizing to me compared to the traditional waffles I’m used to, but I changed my mind last night when I made these for dinner. Now, I can’t go back.
I love the crunch the chopped walnuts provide, and I felt like I could eat a couple of waffles without the guilt. I didn’t even feel the heavy feeling I get in my stomach after eating waffles with maple syrup. Eating a huge calorie and carb-filled breakfast basically ruins my whole day after the excitement of eating with my eyes has worn off. I then just feel gross. With these, you don’t have to worry about that at all.
These Oatmeal-Nut Waffles have a warmth from the cinnamon and almond extract, and they are so moist and light. I think I’ll make some more this evening to enjoy. How about you?
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp allspice
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
- 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, butter, honey, and almond. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking until combined. Stir in the oats and walnuts.
- Bake in a waffle iron until golden brown.
