Hi Friends!

Time for another breakfast idea – Apple Cinnamon Blender Waffles! As you guys know I’m a big fan of breakfast for any meal or snack during the day so please don’t limit waffle hour to just the early morning. My Whole Wheat Yogurt Waffles are my absolute favorite waffles – perfect for making a double batch and freezing them so you have them on hand to pop in the toaster. However, it’s always good to change things up occasionally so I present to you this flavored waffle.

Apple cinnamon will forever be one of my favorite flavor combos, but I’m not a huge fan of having chunks of things in my waffles and pancakes. (ie apple chunks, banana slices, etc. I feel like there’s always a little bit of raw batter around the edges of the pieces and that just doesn’t float my boat. So, I whipped out my blender, tossed in all the ingredients and pureed until smooth.

Added bonus to using the blender instead of the bowl? When you’re done, just add a little water and dish soap to the blender and let it whirl itself clean!

We all know apples and peanut butter make the perfect combo as well so I added some peanut butter to the batter for some healthy fats and protein and I always drizzle more pb on top.

Here’s how you make them:

  1. I dont have a waffle maker but I have a waffle pan that goes in the oven. I think I will try these with that pan. I’d definitley put yogurt on top. I love yogurt on waffles =)

  2. Just whipped up a batch of savoury waffles so pesto and cheese for toppings (mix ins?!) never thought to blend it though! Pinning!

  5. I think waffles are one of the best, easiest recipes in the morning. They are quick, easy and good. It’s one of my staple for sure. Apple Cinnamon is a perfect fall flavor!

  14. Anything that you can make in a blender is instantly awesome. Also, the chocolate chips on top are definitely not optional 😉

  19. I’d freeze these so hard. I can’t stand making brekkie after a long run, but using a toaster oven? I can do that.

  20. These look like pure perfection! I am absolutely bookmarking this. Sounds like a good pick-me-up for after the baby arrives and I’m sleep deprived again 🙂 Oh and I think you nailed it with the PB and chocolate chips. You cannot go wrong with PB and chocolate chips.

  22. I love it when batter recipes are essentially “dump, blend, and cook”! I also love that these waffles involve peanut butter 🙂

  23. Those look great! My husband and I have taken to mixing our pancake/waffle batter in our Vitamix bc then we know for sure that everything is mixed haha. We usually use premixed batter, but I’d like to branch out and start trying some of these from-scratch recipes!

  26. My hubby would be in heaven if I made this for him on a Sunday morning. I’m pinning this one! 🙂

    • Make sure you grease the waffle maker really well before putting batter on it so you can get the waffle out in one piece!

      • Thanks! I try to use a little pam – but am not a fan of it. Is this your favorite waffle recipe or do you have a berry one? I have been using a mix (Kodiak)..
        thank you so much! love your blog:)

  33. One day, when I’m craving waffle for dinner (which I don’t see as too far off…) I WILL make these as my next dinner waffles! So easy and nutritious? And sound amazing? Yes, yes, and yes.

  38. Last night as I was (once again) trying to figure out what to feed my kids for dinner I decided to check my email, and there it was…a fast, EASY recipe for apple cinnamon blender waffles! And since I was already going to dirty the blender, I decided to make a quick batch of smoothies first. Gave the blender a quick rinse, then threw in the waffle ingredients. My kids LOVED them. I’m glad I decided to make a double batch because they asked for them again for breakfast this morning! The only change I made was to use cashew butter (due to a peanut allergy). We will definitely be making these again!
