Whole-Grain Apple Cinnamon Waffles

When I was a kid Eggo waffles were my jam. Before school, after school, weekends, I couldn’t get enough of them. Then I discovered a proper fresh, hot Belgian waffle and there was no going back. My girls have never tried an Eggo (they did have a Van’s one recently and it was pretty darn good), but there’s just something about a homemade waffle that can’t be beat.

The surprising thing about homemade waffles? They’re just as easy to make as pancakes. With a few tweaks to a basic pancake recipe you can have crispy, thick waffles in no time at all. And if you don’t have a waffle maker, Amazon has a ton for super cheap. I bought an Oster one for $20 and it’s gets the job done perfectly.

Here I’ve created a delicious fall waffle filled with red apples and cinnamon. They are cozy, comforting, healthy and wonderful in these cooler months. Top with maple syrup, fresh fruit, yogurt, nut/seed butters, whatever you like best. Even better? Make a big batch and freeze for busy school mornings. Just pop in the toaster and voila, just like an Eggo only a million times tastier!
