THE RUNDOWN
These are not the light and crispy waffles you might expect, but they are also not full of butter. The cinnamon and vanilla add great flavor and the oats make for a heartier waffle. Pro tip: The batter comes together really quickly if you can convince someone to help you out. While the waffle iron is preheating - one person mixes the dry ingredients and the other mixes the wet ingredients.
