Eating breakfast is important (yes mom was right!) but it's so easy to think there's no time. Afterall, 5 more minutes sleep can seem like the most important thing in the world at the crack of dawn! I've been attempting to have breakfast everymorning and this is probably the quickest and easiest thing to make in a hurry. 

Just boil some oatmeal (I use coach's oats from costco - steel cut texture without taking forever and a day to cook!) and add a pinch of salt, half a teaspoon of vanilla and a sprinkle of cinnamon as it's cooking. then top with a spoonful of brown sugar and some milk! Delicious breakfast for 1 or 2 or 8 in just a few minutes!

Now this is also a good breakfast put probably only if you have a few more minutes.  You might have seen this waffle recipe around on other blogs and the internet as "The best waffle ever!!!!!!".  Well, with such strong anonymous endorsement I had to give it a try. It looked easy enough especially since you mix the batter the night before and in the morning you just pour it in the waffle iron. Easy!

Well they were absolutely right. This was the best waffle I've eaten in my entire life. No lie.

The best waffle EVER! (oh yay!!!)

Yeasted Waffles
from The Breakfast Book, modified by JillianCupcake

makes 8-12 waffles, depending on your iron - I got 8 from my huge George Forman grill/waffle maker extravaganza.

1/2 cup warm water
1 package dry yeast
2 cups milk, warmed
4 tablespoons butter, melted (some recipes have a whole stick! It tastes great with half that)
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 large eggs

In a medium size bowl, combine the warm milk, water, and melted butter. Whisk in eggs.

Add the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast to a large mixing bowl (the batter will double in size overnight!).  Stir in the wet ingredients and whisk until the batter is smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and put in the fridge overnight.

The next morning, spray your waffle iron with some cooking spary and heat it up. Take out the batter and stir it well. It will deflate but that's ok. When the iron is ready, ladle in some batter and cook until golden brown.

These waffles are so light and crispy and the yeast gives them a delicious taste and smell.  These waffles ar not very sweet on their own so if you like a sweet breakfast you may want to top with powdered sugar or warm maple syrup,
