Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 1.25 cups Low-fat milk
• 1 Egg
• 0.25 cup Low-fat peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 0 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, low-fat milk, egg, low-fat peanut butter, vanilla extract, and sugar. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and the peanut butter is fully incorporated.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.

Step 4

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly coat the waffle iron with cooking spray.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the hot waffle iron, using about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of batter, depending on the size of your waffle iron. Spread the batter evenly and close the lid.

Step 6

Cook the waffles until they are golden brown and cooked through, usually about 4-5 minutes per waffle. Again, the cooking time may vary depending on the waffle iron.

Step 7

Carefully remove the waffle from the iron and repeat with the remaining batter, re-applying cooking spray as needed.

Step 8

Serve the waffles warm, optionally topped with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup and some sliced bananas for added sweetness and flavor.
