Basic Waffles

I love waffles.  I make this basic recipe whenever we want dinner on the table in under 15 minutes with very little prep.  I’ve tried using all applesauce in place of the oil, but the waffles stuck horribly in the iron. I would recommend using up to half applesauce for the oil.  This is also great with half whole wheat flour and half normal whitey white wheat.

Basic Waffles

1 3/4 cups flour

1 T. baking powder

1/4 t. salt

3 T. sugar

2 eggs

1/4 c. oil

1/4 c. applesauce

1 3/4 c. milk

In a medium mixing bowl combine dry ingredients and stir to combine.  Make a well in the center of the dry and add all of the wet ingredients.  Whisk all ingredients together until a thin and slightly lumpy batter forms.  Pour around a cup of batter into a preheated, lightly greased waffle iron.  Cook until desired doneness.
