Ingredients

• 1.5 cup rolled oats
• 1.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoon dark brown sugar (packed)
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 cup whole milk
• 2 eggs (large)
• 0.33 cup unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup maple syrup

Instructions

1. Preheat your waffle iron on medium-high heat.
2. Place 1 1/2 cups rolled oats into a blender and pulse for 20 seconds until coarsely ground into an oat flour.
3. In a large bowl, whisk the ground oats with 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 3 tablespoons dark brown sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt.
4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups whole milk, 2 large eggs, 1/3 cup melted unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
5. Stir the milk mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined and let sit for 3 minutes to thicken.

7. Serve hot drizzled with 1/2 cup pure maple syrup divided among servings.

Notes

Cool completely on a wire rack before freezing in a zip-top bag. Pop directly into a standard toaster on medium-high for 2 minutes to reheat crisp.
