Ingredients
  

For the Waffles:

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup whole wheat flour

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon salt

1 ½ cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)

2 large eggs

¼ cup melted coconut oil (or butter)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 medium apple, peeled and diced (about 1 cup)

For the Cinnamon Syrup:

1 cup maple syrup (or honey)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon unsalted butter (optional for enhanced richness)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Waffle Batter:

    - In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir together until well mixed to ensure even distribution of all dry ingredients.

      Mix Wet Ingredients:

        - In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted coconut oil (or butter), and vanilla extract until everything is fully incorporated and smooth.

          Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

            - Carefully pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir the mixture gently just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Be cautious not to over-mix. Fold in the diced apple delicately to maintain some structure in the batter.

              Preheat Waffle Iron:

                - Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease the iron using cooking spray or a brush of oil to prevent sticking.

                  Cook the Waffles:

                    - Pour an adequate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Close the lid and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp (timing may vary slightly depending on your specific waffle iron).

                      Make the Cinnamon Syrup:

                        - In a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup and ground cinnamon over medium heat. If you'd like a richer flavor, add the butter. Heat the mixture until warm, stirring occasionally to blend the flavors.

                          Serve:

                            - Carefully remove the waffles from the waffle iron and serve them warm. Drizzle generously with the warm cinnamon syrup. For an extra touch, garnish with additional diced apples or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
