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.
