Almost gingerbread!

So in my quest to get a greater variety of grains into our diet, I put this recipe together. Yes, it is more waffles. What can I say - they freeze really well, toast up like they were just made, and are a guaranteed "more, Please".

The basic recipe is off the package of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Cereal. This is a *very* hearty cereal blend of whole grain brown rice, corn, whole sorghum and buckwheat. I like the cereal with honey and Craisins, and prefer this waffle recipe over the muffin recipe on the package.

2 T Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Cereal
2/3 cup milk
