Simple Whole Grain Waffles
1 cups regular or quick oatmeal 3/8 cup whole wheat flour 3/8 cup cornmeal ¼ cup wheat germ ½ tsp salt ½ cup soy, rice, or almond milk 1 cup water
Combine all the dry ingredients in a large bowl and stir until well-mixed. Then add the milk and the water (for this method use water that is quite hot). Mix batter and allow it to sit for 5 minutes. Stir it up again then proceed to baking waffles. The batter may seem a little lumpy, not as smooth as you may be used to. That is normal. Spray a hot waffle iron with nonstick spray, then spoon on batter until it covers iron. Close lid and bake for 10 minutes. Do not open early. Makes about 4 average size waffles.
(To add variety, consider adding any of the following to your batter: nuts of any kind, raisins, blueberries, banana, flax meal, almond or orange extract, coconut, etc.)
