National Waffle Day: Banana Oat Waffles – Eat Smart, Move More, Prevent Diabetes

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and what better way to celebrate than National Waffle Day. #NationalWaffleDay falls on Monday, August 24th, and celebrates the anniversary of the very first waffle iron patent issued.
