Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Oat bran
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1.5 cups Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
- Fresh fruit (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large bowl, whisk together the oat bran, all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and unsweetened applesauce until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
Scoop about 1/2 cup of batter (or the quantity recommended for your waffle iron) into the center of the preheated iron, spreading it slightly to ensure even cooking.
Close the lid and cook the waffle until steam stops escaping from the sides or until the waffle is golden brown and crisp. This typically takes 4-5 minutes, but follow the timing guidelines for your specific waffle maker.
Carefully remove the waffle from the iron and keep it warm on a plate or baking sheet in a low-temperature oven (around 200°F) while you cook the remaining waffles.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the iron as needed between batches.
Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit and a drizzle of maple syrup.
