4 teaspoons
Ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons
Ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon
Ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon
Skim milk
4 cups
Canola oil

Instructions
1
The night before, in a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices and dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
2
Gradually stir in the skim milk, canola oil, and vanilla extract until the mixture is well combined and moistened. It will be thick, which is expected for the overnight process.
3
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the oats to soften.
4
In the morning, preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and spray the cooking surface with non-stick spray.
5
Gently stir the batter again to loosen it up. Spoon an appropriate amount of batter onto the center of the hot waffle iron, ensuring you don’t overfill it.
6
Cook for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and crisp. If using a Belgian waffle maker, spray it with non-stick spray before each waffle.
7
Serve immediately topped with sweetened fresh strawberries, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, and your favorite syrup. Enjoy!
