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!

Apple Cinnamon Blender Waffles

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:

Pretty simple right? Note that my waffle maker is not a Belgian waffle maker but I imagine either kind would work just fine!

    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 =)

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

    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!
