Overnight Cinnamon Waffles
Description:
This delightful Overnight Cinnamon Waffles recipe, discovered in my Oat Cuisine cookbook, results from a happy accident where two recipes mingled, creating a uniquely spiced waffle that’s sure to please. Perfect for breakfast or brunch, these waffles freeze beautifully and can be reheated in a toaster oven for a quick meal. They are especially delicious when topped with sweetened fresh strawberries and a light dusting of powdered sugar.

Instructions
-
The Night Before: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
-
Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the skim milk, canola oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is just moistened, being careful not to overmix.
-
Chill Overnight: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate overnight. This allows the oats to soak up the liquid and the flavors to meld beautifully.
-
Morning Preparation: When ready to cook, preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Spray the cooking surface with non-stick cooking spray.
-
Mix the Batter: Stir the chilled batter, which may be thick, to loosen it slightly.
-
Cook the Waffles: Spoon an appropriate amount of batter onto the center of the preheated waffle iron, close the lid, and bake for 4 to 6 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. If using a Belgian waffle maker, remember to spray the iron before each waffle for optimal results.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Serve the waffles warm with fresh fruit and vanilla yogurt or drizzle with maple syrup for an indulgent treat.
These Overnight Cinnamon Waffles will elevate your breakfast or brunch experience, providing a warm, flavorful start to your day with minimal morning effort. Enjoy every bite!
