Oatmeal Waffles

At our house we love breakfast.  I especially love sweet breakfast food but do enjoy savory as well.  It just depends on my mood.  Usually Steve chooses savory. Corbin follows suit after me and prefers sweets too.  Even though he prefers sweets he can eat like a whole package of sausage!  Off course I don't let him but he would if he could.

I am always on the lookout for yummy breakfast recipes.  We cook bigger breakfasts about one or twice a week. The rest of the time it is cereal, oatmeal or eggs with cheese and toast.  Sometimes bagels too. I have a good stockpile of delicious breakfast recipes of which I will share over time here but lets start with this one I just added to the collection.

Oatmeal Waffles

I stumbled across this recipe in Corbin's Clubhouse Jr. magazine.
This is a good recipe because Corbin can help.  I love having him cook with me because I can teach him math at the same time and he loves to help and taste test.

I usually make a double batch of these and freeze what we don't eat.  Then I can have pre-made healthier waffles that I just pop in the toaster for quick breakfasts when we have a sweet tooth.
