- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 3/4 cup milk (add more if needed)
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
- 1 tbsp light brown sugar, packed

- 1/2 to 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp salt
For Serving:

Instructions
1. Preheat & Prepare:
- Preheat your waffle iron.
2. Blend the Batter:
- In a blender, add 1 cup of chopped apples (reserve the rest for later), along with eggs, oats, milk, coconut oil, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- Blend until smooth (about 2 minutes).
3. Stir in Apples & Adjust Consistency:
- Pour the batter into a bowl and stir in the remaining 1 cup of chopped apples.
- If the batter is too thick, add 1 to 3 tbsp more milk.
4. Cook the Waffles:
- Add about ⅓ cup of batter to each waffle plate.
- Cook according to your waffle maker’s instructions until deep golden brown (about 6 minutes).
5. Serve & Enjoy:
- Transfer waffles to a wire rack and repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve warm with maple syrup.
Notes
- Batter Thickness: The batter thickens as it sits, so stir in extra milk if needed.
- Gentle Handling: Due to the high water content in apples and the lack of flour, these waffles are softer, so remove them gently from the waffle iron.
- Storage Tip: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
