Oh So Healthy – Apple, Banana & Oat Waffles ~ Gluten-Free & Vegan

Breakfast just keeps getting better and “Oh So Healthy” when I’m whipping up a batch of apple, banana, and oat waffles.

On a side note, I’m still trying to figure out how to use up all those apples we picked before the fruit flies take over my kitchen!

Here is one of the tasty ideas I came up with, cut an apple into 4 sections and remove the seeds. Then put the apple sections into the blender with the rest of the waffle ingredients.

You can see the red apple peel flecks in the batter before closing the waffle iron.  I like this… and the apples not only add more fiber, but the peels are rich in antioxidants as well.

Like many of my waffles, I suggest you sprinkle some healthy hemp seeds over the batter before closing the waffle iron. This will create a delicious toasted seed over the top of the waffle. Hemp seeds are high in protein, containing all 9 of the essential amino acids.

To make Oh So Healthy – Apple, Banana & Oat Waffles                      Makes   4  waffles
gluten-free old fashioned oats
a banana
one apple
water
vanilla
cinnamon
salt
*optional ingredients for variety:
-hemp seeds (do not add if wanting a fat free waffle)

-chia seeds

*NOTE: depending on the size of apple you use, this could change the consistency of the batter. If the juice of the apple makes the waffle batter too runny, add 1/2-1 cup more oats, 1/2 tsp vanilla, and 1/4 tsp cinnamon.

This user-friendly waffle recipe is impossible to ruin. Just remember the general rule:
the longer it sits, the thicker it gets. You can even put the batter in the refrigerator and use it later.

This is a perfect waffle to freeze and pop in the toaster for breakfast or a snack. I like to take one in my lunch as a sandwich with sunflower butter and an all-fruit jam.

If you are counting weight watcher points each waffle has 6 points or 1.5 for each 4th.

And as always I like to share the products I use in my recipes. Bob’s Red Mill is always a safe choice for gluten-free oats.

Enjoy!
