Equipment

Ingredients

2 cups chopped apples cut into ¼-inch cubes, divided
2 Eggs large
1 ½ cups Old Fashion Oats
¾ cup Milk more if needed
¼ cup melted coconut oil
1 tablespoon light brown sugar packed
1 ½ teaspoon Baking powder
½ to 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon Salt

Additional ingredients

Maple syrup for serving

Instructions

Preheat your waffle iron.
Add all ingredients along with 1 cup chopped apples (reserve 1 cup for later use) into a blender and blend until very smooth and creamy consistency.
Tip: It took about 2 minutes in my blender.
Pour batter into a bowl and stir the remaining 1 cup chopped apples into the batter. If the batter looks thick, then stir in 1 to 3 tablespoons of more milk.
Add about ⅓ cup batter into each waffle plate and cook according to manufacturers' instructions until deep golden. (I cooked for 6 minutes in my waffle iron).
Remove the waffles onto a wire rack and repeat with the remaining batter.
Pro tip: Remove the waffles gently! These waffles tend to be softer, due to the high water content in apples and the absence of flour.
Serve waffles hot with maple syrup.

Notes

Color – Cook waffles until they get a deep golden brown – It took about 6 minutes in my waffle iron.

Use gluten free oats to make it gluten free.

Types of apples to use: Fuji, Honey crisp, Gala, Jonagold, Braeburn and Golden delicious are all great options. If you like the tartness from Granny smith, then you could use that as well.

Stir in some finely chopped walnuts into the batter for added crunch.

This recipe will need about 2 medium or 1 and ½ large apples to get 2 cups chopped apples.

Chop apples to ¼ inch dice for a uniform texture.

Blender – Any blenders like Vitamix or Nutri Bullet can be used.

Serving suggestion / Toppings

We love these waffles from scratch with dab of softened salted butter and maple syrup.

Other delicious yet indulgent toppings might include whipped cream, caramel sauce or sautéed apples.

Here is a quick recipe to make sautéed apples:

Slice apples into thin slices (about ¼-inch), cook in a skillet with some butter, brown sugar and cinnamon for a few minutes, over medium heat, until they are crisp tender. Spoon topping over waffles along with the sauce.
