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:

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 =)
me too! yogurt on pancakes and waffles is so good!
Just whipped up a batch of savoury waffles so pesto and cheese for toppings (mix ins?!) never thought to blend it though! Pinning!
oooh those sound delish!
apple cinnamon is a great combo – love the chocolate chips on top too!
SO SO SO WINNING and so so so in the vitamix tomorrow, too.
woohoo! enjoy!
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!
Definitely going to have to make these … I love the combo of apples and cinnamon.
hope you and the girls love them 🙂
I have been on an applesauce cinnamon waffle kick with my new easy awesome waffle maker I got for christmas! Waffles for life 😉
woohoo! enjoy!
Everything about this situation is happening this weekend 🙂
wheee! hope they were great!
These look incredible! Although I don’t make waffles too often, these are on my list to try ASAP!
We’ve been ALL about apple cinnamon around here – I think we wore ourselves out of pumpkin haha! These sound amazing! Waffles are a weekend favorite
haha hope you guys enjoy them!
YUM! These look amazing!!!
I’m a big fan of peanut butter as a topping!
love this idea and love the peanut butter on top.
that’s the best part 🙂
Anything that you can make in a blender is instantly awesome. Also, the chocolate chips on top are definitely not optional 😉
agreed. so necessary!
I need these now!!! Looks amazing, I’ll definitely be trying this!
woohoo! hope they’re a hit!
This recipe sounds so yummy. I really like the easy of putting everything into the blender. I will definitely be making these this weekend!
hope you liked them!
Yummy! I haven’t had waffles in a long time, and this would be a great recipe to try 🙂 pinned it onto Pinterest! Thanks 🙂
thanks for pinning!
Yummy!
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.

yeah girl! perfection!
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.
agreed. best flavor combo 🙂
That is genius! You always have a way of making me crave waffles 😉 I think I know what I’m making for breakfast this weekend. Pinning!
yay! they’re the perfect weekend breakfast!
I love it when batter recipes are essentially “dump, blend, and cook”! I also love that these waffles involve peanut butter 🙂
yes! so easy!
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!
I love this idea! Great for ‘sneaking’ healthy stuff into food for the kiddos!
agreed!! just practicing 🙂
Oh wow! I’m drooling just looking at these! They look SO good. I’m definitely going to have to make them soon!
hope you like them!!
My hubby would be in heaven if I made this for him on a Sunday morning. I’m pinning this one! 🙂
yay! hope they’re a hit!
I love apple cinnamon anything!!! these look amazing!
Looks delicious!
Looks great!
Any tips on how to make them So neat? My never come out okay? I like them whip egg whites in them.
thanks
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:)
i don’t have a berry one yet. maybe i’ll have to work on that!
Oh, my goodness…. these look so incredibly delicious! Om nom nom…
Thanks for the recipe–never would have thought to add ingredients into a blender but makes complete sense when making these waffles. Also, mmmmm….wafffffles.
i can’t believe i haven’t thought of it sooner! so easy!
Oh yum!!! I need to try this. Topped with that peanut butter & chocolate chips looks perfect!
the toppings are the best part!
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.
yay! hope you enjoy!
They look great! well done

so glad to hear that!!! enjoy 🙂
I can practically smell these waffles from here! They look fabulous!
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!
awwww yay! i’m so glad they were a hit!!
