Whole-Grain Buttermilk Waffles

Breakfast is a pretty big thing for my family at Christmas time. We always cook a big breakfast for everyone and have breakfast as a family. Every other day is fend for yourself, but Christmas is special. This year I am in charge of breakfast. I'm sure my mom will help and my little brother said he wanted to help as well. So, I have been looking for different recipes that look delicious. One of the recipes I have found is for waffles. Whole grain buttermilk waffles to be exact!

1 cup Fiber One® original bran cereal
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1 egg, slightly beaten
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup whole wheat or all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
Maple syrup, if desired
Fresh raspberries, if desired

DIRECTIONS

1. Heat waffle maker. Place cereal in resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal bag and crush with rolling pin or meat mallet (or crush in food processor).

2. In large bowl, mix cereal and buttermilk; let stand 5 minutes. Stir in egg, oil and vanilla. Stir in remaining ingredients just until smooth. (Batter will be thick.)
