Notes
- Example of waffle iron - an 8” waffle maker would use about 1 cup of batter for large, whole waffles.
- Make extra and freeze the waffles for up to 2 months in a freezer friendly zip bag. Then reheat them in the oven when you’re ready to use.
- Substitute vegetable oil for canola oil.
- Substitute unsweetened applesauce for the oil.
