Multi-grain Waffles

I love anything with strawberries!  Partnering 'em up with my favorite breakfast meal just starts my day right :)  I don't know about you, but waffles have always made me feel a bit nostalgic.  They remind me of my mom and how she used fill us up with breakfast goodness. *sigh*

How strawberries are good for you. 

Preparation Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients:

2 cups buttermilk

1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

2/3 cup whole-wheat flour

2/3 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup toasted wheat germ or cornmeal

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda 

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 large eggs, lightly beaten

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1 tablespoon canola oil

 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions:

1.  Mix buttermilk and oats in a medium bowl; let stand for 15 minutes.
2.  Whisk whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, wheat germ (or cornmeal), baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl.
3.  Stir eggs, sugar, oil and vanilla into the oat mixture. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients; mix with a rubber spatula just until moistened.
4.  Coat a waffle iron with cooking spray and preheat. Spoon in enough batter to cover three-fourths of the surface (about 2/3 cup for an 8-by-8-inch waffle iron). Cook until waffles are crisp and golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
