2 c. rolled oats
2 c. buttermilk
2 eggs, less fat or using whites only
1/4 c. melted butter
1/2 c. raisins, optional
1/2 c. whole wheat flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt

Start night before. In a bowl, combine oats and buttermilk; stir to blend well. Cover and refrigerate until next day.

Just before cooking, add eggs, butter and raisins (if desired) stir just to blend. In another bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, soda, cinnamon and salt. Add to oat mixture and stir rest until moistened. If batter seems to thick add a little more buttermilk.
