Cozy breakfast for the cold weather

The changing seasons have reminded me how our favorite morning comfort food tastes even better in the cool weather. Thes are great because they freeze well and can be used in place of store bought freezer waffles. Enjoy!

Oatmeal-Buttermilk-Blueberry Waffles

Makes 16 little square waffles

2 cups quick oatmeal
2 cups lowfat buttermilk

Combine oatmeal and buttermilk in a bowl and let stand to soften, about 10 minutes – less if in a real hurry. Softer it is, the tastier it is. Even overnight is fine.

Add in and stir:
3 eggs
2 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons canola oil
dash of vanilla

Add and mix well:
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt or less

Once that’s combined add:
½ cup white flour or white whole wheat flour
1 cup frozen organic wild blueberries

Spray a light coat of oil or Pam on a preheated waffle iron. Put a heaping cup of batter on the iron and bake as directed. You end up with 4 big waffles, 16 little squares.
