Whole Wheat Granola Waffles

• 1 1/2 cups granola cereal (without raisins or dried fruit)
• 1 3/4 cups milk, plus a few tablespoons more if needed
• 1/2 cup butter, melted (1 stick)
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• melted shortening or oil, if needed

1. Stir together the granola and milk in a medium-size mixing bowl and allow to stand for 10-15 minutes, until the granola has softened.
2. Beat the melted butter and eggs into the granola-milk mixture. In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add to the first mixture and beat just until the batter is blended.
3. Heat the waffle iron and brush lightly with melted shortening or oil, if necessary. Pour in just enough batter (1/2-3/4 cup) to barely fill the grids. Close the iron and cook just until the steaming stops and the waffles are golden. If the batter becomes too thick while standing, stir in a tablespoon or two more milk.
