Oatmeal Waffles

1 1/2 cup Quick Cooking Oats
1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Salt
2 cups Buttermilk
2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
1 Egg

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl or measuring cup. Pour into preheated waffle iron. Take the waffles out when the steam stops coming out the size...or, if you're blogging and not paying attention, until a distinct burnt waffle smell reaches your nostrils. Top with butter, peanut butter, honey, syrup or whatever floats your boat. My favorite is peanut butter and syrup. Happy eating! (You can recite the haiku above as you make these delicious oatmeal waffles...or you can just make the waffles and be uncouth.)

By the way, you can make your own buttermilk by adding a little vinegar to regular milk and you can make your own syrup by combining equal amounts of water, brown sugar and sugar in a glass measuring cup and microwaving it until it boils then adding maple flavoring.
