Whole Grain Waffles

A delicious, healthy waffle from the Food Network.

• Ready In: 25 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄4 cups all-purpose flour
• 3⁄4 cup rolled oats
• 1⁄4 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
• 2  tablespoons wheat germ
• 4  teaspoons baking powder
• 1  teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1  pinch salt
• 2  eggs
• 1 1⁄2 cups milk
• 1⁄4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1⁄4 cup  peanut oil

Directions

1. Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high.
2. Whisk the flour with the oats, sugar, wheat germ, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl.
3. In another medium bowl, lightly whisk the eggs, then add the milk, butter and oil.
4. Gently stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients with a wooden spoon to make a batter.
5. Take care not to overwork the batter; it's fine if there are a few lumps.
6. Pour 1/3 to 1/2 cup of batter per waffle (it depends on the size of your waffle iron) and cook until the outside of the waffle is crisp and inside is cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes.
7. Repeat with remaining batter.
8. Serve warm with maple syrup.
