Ingredients

• 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1 cup skim milk (or milk of choice)
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and cooled to room temperature)
• 3  large eggs
• 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2  cups white whole wheat flour (or whole wheat pastry flour)
• 2 teaspoons baking powder (I prefer aluminum free)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/2  teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

1. Preheat your waffle maker. If desired, preheat the oven to 200 degrees F to keep batches of waffles warm.
2. Place the applesauce, milk, butter, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a blender. Sprinkle in the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and kosher salt. Blend just until combined, pausing the blender to scrape down the sides as needed.
3. Cook the batter according to your waffle maker’s instructions. If desired, place the waffles on a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Enjoy immediately with your favorite waffle toppings.
