Ingredients

• 1.5 cups whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1.25 cups milk
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 2 cups fresh strawberries, chopped
• 0.25 cup water
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in the milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and unsweetened applesauce until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. It's okay if the batter has a few lumps.

Step 5

Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or a small amount of melted butter.

Step 6

Pour the appropriate amount of batter onto the hot waffle iron, close the lid, and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, about 4 to 5 minutes.

Step 7

While the waffles are cooking, prepare the sugar-free jam by combining the chopped strawberries, water, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat.

Step 8

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries break down and the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes.

Step 9

Stir in the chia seeds and remove from heat. Allow the jam to cool and thicken further.

Step 10

Once all the waffles are cooked, serve them warm with the homemade sugar-free strawberry jam on top.
