Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 1/2 cups gluten free rolled oats
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¾ cup grated fresh apple

Method

  1. Add the applesauce, gluten free oats, eggs, almond milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, maple syrup, ghee, and baking powder to a high-powered blender.
  2. Blend until the batter is completely smooth.
  3. Next, add the grated apple to the batter and stir until well combined.
  4. Allow the batter to rest for a few minutes. This will allow the oats to soak up some of the moisture. While your batter is resting, heat your waffle maker. (I heated mine to level 4 on my waffle maker).
  5. Once the waffle maker is heated, spray it with a little non-stick spray (I used avocado oil non-stick spray), fill the waffle maker with batter, close the lid and let cook until the waffle is golden brown and beginning to crisp. This takes 5-6 minutes in my waffle maker. Once the steam stops coming out from the sides of the waffle maker, I like to check for doneness.
  6. Transfer the cooked waffle to a wire cooling rack or baking sheet.
  7. Repeat this process until all of the waffle batter has been cooked. Be sure to give the waffle maker a quick spray of oil before adding a scoop of new waffle batter each time.
  8. Serve the waffles with additional toppings like fresh apple slices, powdered sugar, and maple syrup. Enjoy!
