Blender waffles

Yesterday I brought freezer waffles to work and topped them with fresh strawberries and banana. It was so good I thought I would do the same thing today, but decided to saute the strawberries and banana and pour that over my waffles. This recipe is adapted from Spark People.

To saute the strawberries and bananas, I just cut up the strawberries and bananas, put them in my small non-stick skillet, and added about 1 TB. of water and 1 tsp. of sugar. Cook on low and the water/sugar becomes like a simple syrup and its so awesome!

You won’t even need any regular syrup!!

Ingredients

2 cups quick oats
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 egg
2 Tablespoons sugar
2 T vegetable oil (optional)
1 1/4 cups milk
1/4 cup ground flax seed
2 TB. mini chocolate chips (what a surprise, right?)

*I was very proud of myself because we had leftover pizza last night from dinner and I said “No!” to the pizza and chose this healthy breakfast instead! I’m so happy I did that!

This afternoon my daughter and I are going to my nieces wedding shower, so I plan to make the healthiest choices I can! Wish me luck!
