Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup Vegan butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups Unsweetened almond milk
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. This ensures even distribution of the baking powder for fluffy waffles.
Mix Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, combine the applesauce, melted vegan butter, vanilla extract, and almond milk. Whisk until smooth and well combined. The applesauce adds moisture and a hint of sweetness.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can result in tough waffles. A few lumps are perfectly fine.
Cook the Waffles
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once heated, lightly grease the waffle iron with vegan butter or cooking spray. Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron, using the amount recommended by the waffle iron manufacturer. Cook until the waffles are golden brown and crispy, usually 3-5 minutes.
Serve Immediately
Carefully remove the waffles from the waffle iron and serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, vegan whipped cream, or chocolate sauce. Enjoy!
