Oatmeal Blender Waffles

• 4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 3 cups water, plus more as needed
• 2 small, very ripe bananas
• 2 Tab. oil (coconut, olive)
• 1 ½ - 2 tsp. cinnamon
• ¼ - ½ tsp. high-quality salt
• 2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 2 Tab. raw sugar, Sucanat or Turbinado (optional, but recommended if your bananas aren’t extremely ripe)
• ghee to grease waffle iron

Toppings:

• pure maple syrup (cooling) or honey (warming)
• natural almond butter or other nut butter

Pre-heat your waffle iron.  If you want to keep cooked waffles crispy and warm while cooking the other waffles, pre-heat oven or toaster oven to 250F.  

Place all ingredients in blender.  Blend until smooth.  Let the batter sit 5 – 10 minutes to thicken. Meanwhile, use ghee to grease your waffle iron.  Once waffle iron is ready, do a quick pulse of batter in blender.  Pour batter into waffle iron & cook (waffles are usually ready when steam slows down).  Place cooked waffles in pre-heated oven if desired. 

​Spread waffle with a thin layer of nut/seed butter and a light drizzle of maple syrup/honey.
