Yay!

I don't know about you, but I have had the hardest time finding a nutritious breakfast that our girls LOVE, (and that's easy and fast, too!) but I think I've found it! Make sure and note the changes I made at the end of the recipe, they're subtle but still keep the integrity of the recipe.

1 cup wheat flour

1/2 cup oat flour

2 Tbsp ground flax seed

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp cinnamon

2 eggs, beaten

1 1/2 cup buttermilk

2 Tbsp vegetable oil

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Heat waffle iron. In a large bowl, combine wheat flour, oat flour, flax seed, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Whisk to combine. In a separate bowl, combine beaten eggs, buttermilk, oil and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine.Add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture and fold together with a rubber scraper, being sure to not overmix.Lightly spray hot waffle iron with non-stick spray. Add about 1/2 cup waffle batter. Cook until crisp on the edges. Serve with pure maple syrup, powdered sugar and butter. Makes about 6 waffles.

Rookie's Notes: If you don't keep oat flour in your pantry, you can make your own. Just add rolled oats (quick cooking or regular) to the bowl of a food processor and give it a whirl. If you don't have a food processor, my condolences. You REALLY should look into getting one. The possibilities are endless.

Heather's Notes: I do not keep oat flour in my pantry, nor do I have a food processor, so I just used white flour. Not to say that I don't think it would be good, just didn't have the tools to get it done, but want to try them that way, too! Also, a friend of mine taught me this trick when it comes to buttermilk~you can make your own! Just take regular milk and add a tbsp. of white vinegar and let it sit for a few minutes. Done!
