Ingredients

4 tablespoon salted butter, melted and cooled slightly
3 large eggs
1 + ¼ C milk of choice (I use 2% or whole dairy milk)
¾ C unsweetened applesauce
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoon baking powder
1 + ¾ C whole wheat flour

Instructions

Preheat waffle iron.
In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, eggs, unsweetened applesauce, milk, and maple syrup until all ingredients are well combined.
Slowly whisk in cinnamon, baking powder, and whole wheat flour until a batter has been formed.
Cook the waffles. Using a ⅓ cup measuring cup, scoop waffle batter into the center of the waffle iron, close the lid, and cook per the manufacturer’s instructions.
Store leftovers in an air-tight container in the fridge for 3-5 days.*

Notes

How to store and reheat waffles:

In the refrigerator: You can store cooked waffles in the refrigerator in an air-tight container for up to 5 days.
In the freezer: You can store cooked waffles in the freezer for 2-3 months. Prior to freezing, make sure to cool your waffles completely and then place cooled waffles into a ziplock bag or freezer safe container. Placing a piece of parchment paper between the waffles will help them from sticking together.
How to reheat: Reheat refrigerated or frozen waffles in a toaster, toaster oven, or in the microwave.
