Whole wheat oatmeal waffles

Your heart will love you when you make these delicious, healthy waffles. I found the recipe on allrecipes and altered it slightly. I serve fresh fruit and fruit syrup on top.

2 eggs, beaten
2 cups buttermilk (you can make buttermilk by using milk + 2 tbsp vinegar or lemon juice. Allow this to sit for 5-10 minutes)
1 cup oats (not quick)
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

1. Combine buttermilk and oats and let sit for 30 minutes (you can skip this step by using quick oats. I prefer non-instant oats because they have more fiber). After 30 minutes add the eggs (beaten) and oil.
2. Combine flour, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Combine with wet ingredients.
3. Pour batter into waffle iron and cook to perfection.

*I have found that because I used freshly ground whole wheat the waffles often turn out flat. If this happens simply add 1/4 cup white flour. These waffles should puff up while cooking and be thick. Batter will be very thick.
