Oatmeal Waffles

2 cups oatmeal (quick or slow)
1 1/2 cups milk (can use water)
2 eggs, beaten
1 T molasses or brown sugar
2 T oil
3/4 cup flour
1 T baking powder
1/2 t salt

Measure oatmeal into mixing bowl and add milk. Let soak 5 minutes. Add eggs, brown sugar, and oil and mix well. Add dry ingredients and mix just to combine. Cook in waffle iron or like pancakes.

Variation: Add 1/2 cup chopped apple and 1/2 t cinnamon

Variation #2 (inspired by Apple Cheddar Scones): Fold in 1 grated apple, about 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese and some sugar (1-2 T). 1/4 cup per side was perfect on our waffle iron. Delicious!
