This raisin oat Belgian waffles recipe is one I started using when I first got my Cuisinart Waffle Maker right after the Hubs and I got married. In fact, I think we bought the waffle maker with some of our wedding gift money, and it has been one of my favorite wedding gifts! recipe? Find them linked at the bottom of the post!
Making Thick Batter for Oatmeal Raisin Waffles
This homemade batter for waffles with oats will be thick which is what you must have for proper waffles. When you use a waffle batter that is too thin, you risk having ripped waffles in the waffle maker. Thick batter is best.
We use our electric mixer for the batter. Since it is so thick, it is really difficult to hand stir.
I enjoy the Belgian style waffles in the square shape from our Cuisinart Belgian Waffle Maker that we’ve had for years. Waffle grippers or tongs are also handy for removal of the waffles.
If you desire, you can take a knife and trim around each waffle for a more uniform, pretty square. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t. It just depends on what kind of hurry we are in!
Toppings for Oatmeal Raisin Waffles
You have lots of options when it comes to topping these oatmeal raisin waffles.
- Top with raisins and whipped cream (homemade whipped cream or Cool Whip)
- Dust with powdered sugar
- Top with traditional butter and pancake syrup
Freeze Extra Oatmeal Raisin Waffles
These thick and fluffy oatmeal raisin waffles freeze very well. I simply stack cooled waffles onto a paper plate and slide into a large gallon freezer bag. I keep them up to three months – though they don’t usually last that long! You can also put them into an air-tight plastic freezer container.
To reheat, I just pop frozen waffles into the microwave and heat for a around a minute and ten seconds. Sometimes, they may need another 10 seconds or so (depending on your microwave), but it’s best to not do too much or they can become really tough. You can also pop them into your toaster!
