OATMEAL WAFFLES

Steps:

• Start with preparing and measuring all the ingredients. I like to use measuring cups.
• Take the blender and add all ingredients. Note: add wet ingredients first for easier blending.
• Mix everything at high speed until you get a smooth texture.
• Taste the batter and add additional sweetener if you think the mixture is not sweet enough.
• Let the batter rest for a few minutes.
• Turn on the waffle maker and let it heat until it's hot (the green light must be on).
• Coat waffle plates with cooking spray or melted coconut oil using the brush.
• Pour the batter onto the hot waffle plates, close the lid and allow the waffles to cook. Depending on your waffle maker it will take between 8-10 minutes per batch.
• Once baked, remove waffles from the waffle maker and place them on a cooling rack. Fresh baked waffles will be soft when you take them out of the waffle maker but they will harden as they cool on the rack.
• Repeating the process with the rest of the batter. Make sure to grease the waffle plates before adding the batter to prevent sticking.
• Transfer cooled waffles to a plate.
• Add toppings (optional): I used banana, blueberries, and maple syrup. Be creative here and add toppings you like.
• Serve and enjoy!

ALLSPICED APPLE BUTTER

Steps:

• Place the apples in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over low heat. Cook, uncovered, for 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. Add the brown sugar and spices; continue cooking over low heat, stirring occasionally, until very thick, about 30 minutes more. To test for doneness, place a spoonful of the mixture on a white plate and let sit for 20 seconds. If a ring of liquid forms around the apples, there is still too much liquid in the mixture. Continue cooking and testing until no ring forms.
