Multi-Grain Waffles

Ingredients:

2 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup rolled oats
2/3 cup whole-wheat flour
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup wheat germ
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 TBS vegetable oil
2 tsp vanilla extract

Mix buttermilk and oats in a large bowl; let stand for 15 minutes.

On waxed paper, combine whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, wheat germ, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Stir eggs, sugar, oil and vanilla into the buttermilk mixture. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients; mix with a rubber spatula just until moistened.

Coat waffle iron with cooking spray and preheat. Spoon in batter to cover three-fourths of the cooking surface. Cook until waffles are crisp and golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter. Batter can also be used for pancakes. 6 servings.
