Oatmeal Waffles

Ingredients
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup quick-cooking oats
1 tablespoon molasses
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Milk

Directions
1. In a large bowl, mix eggs, vanilla and buttermilk. Add oats and mix well. Stir in molasses and oil. Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt; stir into the egg mixture. If batter becomes too thick, thin with a little milk. Pour about 3/4 cup batter onto a greased preheated waffle maker. Bake according to manufacturer's directions. To make pancakes: Drop batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto a hot greased griddle. Turn when bubbles begin to form on top of pancake.

I made these this morning in my new waffle iron and they were excellent! And, relatively healthy and filling. The cinnamon and vanilla were additions to the original recipe, as suggested by other reviewers.
