Fat-Free, Low Sugar, Oat Waffles

Sunday night brought another waffle recipe. 

Here is a great recipe that I found and tried:

• 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.

I lowered the calories a bit by adding only 1 tsp of sweetener (honey).  I ended up with nine thin-ish waffles that came in at about 90 calories each.  If your waffles are thicker, calories will be a little higher.  I ate mine with plain yogurt, lots of cinnamon, and a drizzle of syrup.
