Multi-Grain Waffles - Sacha B

From EatingWell:  Spring 2003, The Essential EatingWell Cookbook (2004)

Traditional waffles are a butter-laden, high-carb indulgence, but they make the transition to good fats and smart carbs beautifully, yielding crisp, nutty-tasting waffles with all the sweet pleasure of the original. The batter can also be used for pancakes.

8 servings, 2 waffles each | Active Time: 30 minutes | Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

·       2 cups buttermilk (or fat-free plain yogurt with some milk added)
·       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

Preparation

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.
