Baking All the Rules- Wafflends

Let me just say this one thing first, TGIF! (Be sure to check the bottom for added Friday Fun)

I have very little planned this weekend, except for a Jim's 30th Birthday on Saturday!

For some reason most weekends SmithCale and I seem to eat breakfast for dinner at least one weekend day. Mainly because it's quick and I always have all the basics on hand. And as the picture shows, I had this round with eggs; Over hard please.

I'd like to share our favorite waffle recipe so maybe you also can have a beautiful Wafflend!

Oatmeal Waffles

Ingredients for 3 (but only 2 of us eat them all):

½ tsp baking soda

¼ tsp ground cinnamon

1/8 tsp salt

Wet Team:

1 C nonfat buttermilk

2 Tbsp butter, melted

1. Heat waffle iron to the darkness setting you prefer
