2 cups oatmeal (regular rolled oats, not quick oats)
4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3 teaspoons baking powder

Crumble the brown sugar to remove any lumps and place in a medium bowl with flour, oatmeal, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir to blend. Add buttermilk, eggs, oil, and vanilla. Stir until well blended and smooth. Stir in raisins. Let batter rest 5 minutes before using. Preheat your Cuisinart® Waffle Iron.
When iron is ready, the audible signal will sound and green indicator light will illuminate. Pour a scant 11⁄2 cup of batter onto the center of the lower grid; spread batter using a heatproof spatula to within 1⁄2 inch of the edge of the grid. Close lid of waffle iron – green indicator light will turn off. When audible signal sounds and green indicator light turns on again, waffle is ready. Open lid and remove baked waffle. Repeat with remaining batter.
