Oatmeal-Applesauce Waffles with Homemade Berry Compote

Okay, wafflers, round two!

You may have read earlier about my paffle pseudo-disaster, and earlier this week I was determined to make up for it.

This time I followed the directions on the box more carefully, and added my own twist to come up with something good for you, filling and delicious. Enjoy!

Get your ingredients together (FYI: there is peanut butter in the picture but I ended up not using it)...

...and mix in a large bowl.

Pour your mix into a preheated, greased waffle iron (I snagged this baby at Target for $7 - woot!)...

...and voila!

Oatmeal-Applesauce Waffles with Homemade Berry Compote

Ingredients:

• 2 cups waffle mix (I used Krusteaz)
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
• 1 packet apple-cinnamon-flavored instant oatmeal (I used Quaker)
• 1 tbsp. flax seeds
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 1 egg white
• 3 tbsp. canola oil
• 1/2 cup water
• 3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup each fresh blueberries and raspberries

Directions:

• Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer's directions.
• In a large bowl, mix dry ingredients together with a wisk.
• Add wet ingredients to the bowl and mix.
• Spray your waffle iron with cooking spray.
• Fill your waffle iron with batter and cook. Repeat until you have a plate full of waffly deliciousness and your batter is gone :)
• While the waffles are cooking, rinse your berries and put them in a ramekin. Microwave for 30 seconds until they have heated and reduced into a syrup (there should be seeds and berry pieces left).
• Serve your waffles topped with compote and a little agave if you wish. Enjoy!

Happy Saturday!
