Gingerbread Waffles

These are SOOOOO good.  I have been trying for a LONG time to come up with a waffle that is crisp, yet tastes good.  SOOOO many came out limp and tasteless OR incredibly dense and tasteless.  We have these all the time - breakfast and dinner.  They come out GREAT every time and are not limp or dense or tasteless!!!

• 2 cups spelt flour or whole wheat flour
• 4 tsp baking powder
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• 2 Tbsp Ground Flaxseed
• 2 cups water
• 4 tsp vanilla extract
• 4 Tbsp molasses

Directions:
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl until just combined.  Let sit for about 5 minutes.

Spray waffle iron with oil.  Cook in pre-heated waffle iron.

Mocha Coconut Old-Fashioned OverNight Oats (GF)

I combined my recipes for Chocolate Coconut Overnight Oats  and Mocha Overnight Oats to come up with this recipe.  I sprinkled extra coconut on top of the oatmeal.  

This is SOOOOOO good....this might be my new favorite overnight oats recipe !!!!  
  

Ingredients:
1/2 cup Quaker old fashioned oats
3/4 to 1 cup almond milk
1/2 banana, mashed
1 Tbsp instant coffee
2 Tbsp Unsweetened Shredded Coconut  (I use Bob's Red Mill)
1 Tbsp Hershey's Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1 tsp Chia Seeds (I use Bob's Red Mill)
1 tsp Ground Flaxseed (I use Bob's Red Mill)
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 to 3 Tbsp peanut butter 
2 Tbsp brown sugar or maple syrup

Directions:
Put all the ingredients into a jar with tight fitting lid and shake until well combined.  I use an "old" 16-oz glass peanut butter jar.  Then refrigerate overnight or for a few nights.  I had mine sit in the fridge for 4 nights and it was delicious the morning I ate it for breakfast.

Pumpkin Pie Old Fashioned Overnight Oats (GF)

I LOVE making a few overnight oats at a time and leaving them in the fridge to have for breakfast through the week.

I decided to try a pumpkin one.  I used 2 Tbsp pumpkin puree - I personally liked this amount.  To me, this had a nice cinnamon flavor with a hint of pumpkin.

3/4 to 1 cup almond milk (I use 1 cup)
1/2 banana, mashed
1 tsp Chia Seeds (I use Bob's Red Mill)
1 tsp Ground Flaxseed (I use Bob's Red Mill)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground allspice
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbsp brown sugar or molasses
2 to 4 Tbsp canned pumpkin puree (depends on how pumpkiny you want it)
1 tsp Hershey's Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

Directions:
Put all the ingredients into a jar with tight fitting lid and shake until well combined.  I use an "old" 16-oz glass peanut butter jar.  Then refrigerate overnight or for a few nights.  I had mine sit in the fridge for 4 nights and it was delicious the morning I ate it for breakfast.

... God said this so that the one chosen would be chosen because of God's own plan.  He was chosen because he was the one God wanted to call, not because of anything he did.
