You know what's even better than cinnamon pancakes? Cinnamon waffles. Oil-free and baked in the oven. Ever since I got these awesome silicone waffle molds, I can't stop making waffles. I got a cheap waffle maker once, and I had a rather traumatic experience with that thing. It wasn't non-stick by any stretch of the imagination. Needless to say, it ended up in a charity shop. I feel sorry for a person who got it. Maybe I should have left a little note inside the box: "Please don't use this crap. There is a better way!". Seriously, after discovering these silicon molds, there is no going back. Waffles come off perfectly every time, and you don't even need to spray the molds with any oil. And that will make your waffle completely oil-free. And guilt-free. So if you're going to devour all four at one sitting, I'm not going to judge you. I may have done the same thing too many times.
But that's not the end of it! These waffles are sweetened with dates and banana only, and that means these babies are refined-sugar-free. I know. Almost too good to be true.
Top them with whatever you fancy. Drowning your waffles in a lot of maple syrup is not a bad idea. Or soy yogurt with some fruit compote works great too.
