Multigrain Waffles

I found my next go-to waffle recipe.  I'm in heaven.  My mouth is still salivating one hour later.  I ate my waffle plain--it was slightly crunchy, but moist inside and had such a hint of cinnamon/vanilla flavor that syrup was not needed.  

I followed the recipe from Eatingwell.com's website (http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/multi_grain_waffles.html) but modified it a little.  I used 2 tablespoons of honey instead of brown sugar, instead of 2/3 cup all-purpose flour I used whole wheat and I used 2 tablespoons melted butter instead of oil.  Oh, and I had some flaxseed meal that needed to be used up, so I threw in 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal.

2 cups buttermilk

1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

1 1/3 cup whole wheat flour

1/4 cup cornmeal

1.5 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/4 tsp. salt

2 T. ground flaxseed

1 tsp. cinnamon

2 large eggs, lightly beaten

2 T. honey

2 T. melted butter

2 tsp. vanilla

Mix the buttermilk and oats in a small bowl and let sit for 15 minutes.

Whisk together all the dry ingredients.  Mix the rest of the wet ingredients, pour into the buttermilk mixture.  Pour the buttermilk/wet ingredients into the dry.  Slightly mix just until everything is combined.

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.
