Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Oat bran
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1.5 cups Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.25 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 0 Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
• 0 Fresh fruit (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the oat bran, all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and unsweetened applesauce until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.

Step 6

Scoop about 1/2 cup of batter (or the quantity recommended for your waffle iron) into the center of the preheated iron, spreading it slightly to ensure even cooking.

Step 7

Close the lid and cook the waffle until steam stops escaping from the sides or until the waffle is golden brown and crisp. This typically takes 4-5 minutes, but follow the timing guidelines for your specific waffle maker.

Step 8

Carefully remove the waffle from the iron and keep it warm on a plate or baking sheet in a low-temperature oven (around 200°F) while you cook the remaining waffles.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the iron as needed between batches.

Step 10

Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit and a drizzle of maple syrup.
