Oaty waffles for two

This morning we wanted something warm and healthy. Oaty waffles! They are delightfully hearty, chewy, and full of oaty flavor.

Put into a blender (or better yet, food processor):

1 cup whole oats

1/2 cup applesauce (preferably unsweetened)

1 egg

2 tablespoons agave or maple syrup

That's it.

Spray your waffle maker with non-stick spray. Fill about 1/2 full (note: these waffles will not rise much). Wait until the steam appears then goes away, and you should be done!

Our waffle maker, a VillaWare Waffle tone, is designed to make mini belgian-style waffles. With the molds filled half full, we had 5 mini waffles... perfect for 2 people. Our waffle maker beeps at us when it thinks the waffles are done... we used the darkest setting (7).

I found this recipe on http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com and it was originally for pancakes. I tried this and it was a disaster! The waffle maker is necessary to give the batter some shape.
