Oatmeal Apple-Cinnamon Waffles

Breakfast

The inspiration for this recipe came from the uneaten lunch-box apple. You know the ones which are usually tossed around in the backpack a few days before they are returned to the kitchen just in time for this week-end breakfast treat. Left over waffles can be frozen and popped into the toaster during the middle-of-the-week morning rush-hour.

Makes 6 (6 1/2-inch waffles)

Ingredients

3/4 cup regular or quick-cooking oats, uncooked
1-1/2 cups 2% milk
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons margarine or butter, melted
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1-1/4 cups biscuit baking mix (Bisquick)
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 medium apple, finely chopped

Directions

  1. Preheat waffle maker
  2. Combine oats and milk, set aside approximately 5 minutes.
  3. Add egg, margarine or butter, and brown sugar. Mix well.
  4. Combine cinnamon with biscuit baking mix and stir into milk mixture until well blended.
  5. Stir in finely chopped apple.
  6. Spray waffle maker with cooking spray, pour 1/2-cup batter into preheated waffle maker and cook until crisp. Note: the amount of batter used will depend on your waffle maker.
  7. Serve with warm maple syrup if desired.

Biscuit baking mix seems to be a staple in most households today, but if your pantry’s bare and you want to make the above recipe just add an additional egg, 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder and 1 teaspoon salt. If you don’t have a waffle maker then make pancakes from the batter.
