3 Tablespoon granulated sugar
1 Tablespoon baking powder

2 large eggs
1.5 cups unsweetened non-dairy milk

Instructions

apple waffles

Preheat waffle iron and grease if needed.
Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and oil. Add in vanilla and milk, gently whisking to combine.
Add dry ingredients: Add in flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and apples; combine with spatula until no lumps are present. Depending on your flour blend you may need a touch more milk here OR a tiny bit more flour. Batter should be somewhat thick but not drippy.
Cook: Use 1/4 cup to pour batter into waffle iron; cook on low-medium heat for 3-4 minutes or until waffles are lightly golden. Every waffle iron is different so cook according to manufacturer’s instructions.
Keep warm in the oven (about 160ºF) until ready to serve.

warm apple topping

In medium skillet over medium heat, sauté sliced apples with cinnamon and oil or ghee; stir occasionally for about 5 minutes or until soft. Add to warm waffles and serve immediately.

Notes

FLOUR: You can substitute half all purpose with half whole wheat, or 1:1 gluten free flour blend for similar results.

Reheating Instructions: Toast in toaster set to high heat (twice, if needed) or in a preheated 350ºF toaster oven or oven for 5-10 minutes.

To freeze: Cool waffles completely, then place in plastic freezer storage bag, seal tight, label, date and freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat as instructed, adding 2-3 minutes to toasting time.
