Oatmeal Waffles
Makes 6 waffles

These easily prepared waffles are a delicious way to add healthful oats to your diet. 

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.
