Instructions

Making the Oat Flour

  • Toast the oats in a frying pan set over medium heat. Stir ocassionally until toasted, you should be able to start smelling them slightly. Should take about 3 minutes. 
  • Remove oats from heat and allow to cool.
  • Add the oats to your food processor. Process until they are the same consistency of your all-purpose flour. It should take no more than 3 minutes.

Making the Batter

  • In a medium or large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, the homemade oat flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt. 
  • In a second mixing bowl, beat the eggs. Then slowly drizzle in the melted butter as you whisk it. Add in the buttermilk and thoroughly combine. 
  • Add the wet ingredients on top of the dry ingredients. Using a wooden spoon, stir to just combine. Don't over mix. Any small lumps will work their way out when you cook them.
  • Allow the batter to rest for 5 mintues. In the mean time, heat up your waffle iron.

Cooking the Waffles

  • Preheat your oven to 200 degrees for keeping the cooked waffles warm.
  • Using a ½ cup measuring cup, scoop the batter onto the waffle iron towards the center. Close the iron and cook until brown. Adjust the amount of batter you use depending if the first waffle filled the iron or not. Using a smaller amount if overflowing or using more if the waffle didn't completely fill the iron.
  • Place the finished waffle into your oven, directly on the rack. Do not stack. This will keep your waffles hot and crispy.
