Overnight Cinnamon Waffles

I found this recipe in my Oat Cuisine cookbook. I accidently mixed up two recipes and the end result was a spicer waffle. These waffles freeze well and can be reheated in a toaster oven. These are also good topped with sweetened fresh strawberries and then sprinkled lightly with powdered sugar.
