Hearty Apple Cinnamon Waffles

When I get on a food kick, I tend to stick with it for a while. Lately, my kick has been waffles. It's the perfect breakfast to toast up and eat in a hurry before work. My first gluten-free waffles were delicious, but since they were made with white rice flour and coconut milk, they were better for a special weekend breakfast than for every day. So I set about to make a hearty "whole grain" waffle that I could feel good eating on a daily basis. The result? These Hearty Apple Cinnamon Waffles. They're high in fiber and low in saturated fats (but high in heart healthy fats). And with no added sugar, they're a great way to start the day!
