CULINARY MAKEOVER # 21 – FROM OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES TO OATMEAL RAISIN WAFFLES

We love Oatmeal/Raisin Cookies but it seems that we had overlooked the remainder of the last batch that I made.  They were inside our Cookie Tin (Coincidentally one that was a commemorative tin for Quaker Oatmeal.  The Cookies were still good, if a little on the dry side.  And since I love recycling leftovers and turning them into new dishes,  I decided to recycle the Cookies.

 

I broke them up and put them in the Food Processor.

I measured the resulting ‘cookie meal’ and then added what I decided would be enough flour to make a viable waffle batter.  I then added a proportionate amount of Eggs, Milk and Butter.  And voila, we had Oatmeal/Raisin Waffles for Breakfast.

As you will see when you read the recipe the recycling did not stop at Waffles.  Since we are currently a household of two people and the resulting Waffle Batter was enough to feed four people, I decided to make muffins from the leftover Waffle Batter.  Surprisingly, the Muffins turned out to be an excellent accompaniment for our breakfast the following morning.  Same ingredients, but turned into a completely new item.  The Muffins were served with Scrambled Eggs and Bacon.  Fortunately, we were able to finish the Muffins over a couple of days and did not have to recycle them anymore.
