Oatmeal Pecan Waffles (or Pancakes)
Servings
4 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted pecans chopped
- 2 large eggs seperated (for pancakes, see note)
- 1½ cup fat-free skim milk
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 cup fresh strawberries rinsed, stems removed, and cut in half (or substitute frozen strawberries, thawed)
- 1 cup fresh blackberries rinsed (or substitute frozen blackberries, thawed)
- 1 cup fresh blueberries rinsed (or substitute frozen blueberries, thawed)
- 1 teaspoon powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat waffle iron.
- Combine flour, oats, baking powder, sugar, and pecans in a large bowl.
- Combine egg yolks, milk, and vegetable oil in a separate bowl, and mix well.
- Add liquid mixture to the dry ingredients, and stir together. Do not overmix; mixture should be a bit lumpy.
- Whip egg whites to medium peaks. Gently fold egg whites into batter (for pancakes, see note below).
- Pour batter into preheated waffle iron, and cook until the waffle iron light signals it’s done or steam stops coming out of the iron. (A waffle is perfect when it is crisp and well-browned on the outside with a moist, light, airy and fluffy inside.) (Or make pancakes.)
- Add fresh fruit and a light dusting of powdered sugar to each waffle, and serve.
- Tip:For pancakes, do not separate eggs. Mix whole eggs with milk and oil, and eliminate steps 4 and 5.

These are heaven! Just made them tonight- came out so fluffy (I made the pancake version)… even my Very Pickiest Eater liked them!
Hi! You say to use blackberries. I understand that the recipe is from another website. However, blackberries are too hard to check for bugs and are not kosher.This should definitely be considered before posting this recipe on a Kosher recipe site. At least a warning should be noted that they must be checked. Thanks for this great site!
