Oatmeal Waffles

Tis the waffle season. These easily prepared waffles are a delicious way to add healthful oats to your diet if you are not allergic to them. Makes 6 waffles

2 cups rolled oats 2 cups water 1 banana 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon maple syrup 1 teaspoon vanilla fresh fruit, spreadable fruit or maple syrup for serving

Preheat waffle iron to medium-high.

Combine oats, water, banana, salt, maple syrup and vanilla in a blender. Blend on high speed until completely smooth.

Lightly oil-spray waffle iron. Pour in enough batter to just barely reach edges and cook until golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes without lifting lid.

Serve with fresh fruit.

Note: The batter should be pourable. If it becomes too thick as it stands, add a bit more water to achieve desired consistency.
