fill'er up: cinnamon oatmeal waffles

I can't believe it's been over a year since I've posted a waffle recipe. Believe me, this is the perfect waffle recipe after a long waffle-absence because it will only take one to fill you up. Really. This waffle is hearty. I spied the recipe on the very lovely Shutterbean's site (who originally found the recipe in Sunset magazine) and knew that this would be the waffle recipe to get me back on the waffle train. Enjoy!

cinnamon oatmeal waffles
(adapted from Shutterbean)
1 3/4 c whole wheat flour
1/4 t salt
1 T baking powder
2 c rolled oats
3 T flaxmeal
2 T ground cinnamon
1 T brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 c yogurt
3/4 c skim milk
1/4 c butter, melted
1 T vegetable oil (for waffle iron)

1. Preheat the waffle iron to medium-high. In a large bowl, mix together the first seven ingredients (flour to sugar). In a small bowl, combine the eggs, yogurt and milk and whisk to combine. Add in the melted butter. Pour the wet mixture into the dry and mix gently.

2. Using a pastry brush, coat the griddle with oil. Pour 3/4 c or so of the batter into the middle of the waffle iron. Bake until golden brown and serve with maple syrup and thick yogurt.
