Every time I find a recipe with bananas, I do one of three things:
- Ignore the recipe because I hate bananas
- Ignore the recipe because we can’t have bananas
- Find a banana sub because I think the recipe is worth it
I’ve really started to enjoy the crispiness of waffles over the last few years, so I subbed canned 100% pumpkin puree in this recipe. Unfortunately, Primers can now have bananas, but not oats. Sorry guys – something to try post-bootcamp, perhaps!
Blender Waffles http://vegweb.com/recipes/blender-waffles-rolled-oats
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup water
- ½ Tbsp Splenda
- ½ tsp vanilla
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ cup pumpkin puree
Preheat waffle iron according to manufacturer’s directions. Combine all ingredients in blender. Blend until smooth. Pour batter into waffle iron. Cook according to directions. Makes 2 carb servings. Consider adding cocoa, cinnamon, or other extracts/free flavorings in addition to or in place of the pumpkin. Add a couple scrambled O3 eggs and breakfast is served!
Tada! A Meltdown-friendly waffle! Perfect for Level 2’s 2-carb meal on Day 1s because you could have this whole recipe to yourself! Feast crispy, feast from an iron, and as always…FEAST ON!!!
