Ingredients

3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups applesauce unsweetened
1 1/4 cups any milk I used unsweetened almond milk

Instructions

Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
In a large mixing bowl, add eggs, applesauce, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, baking soda and salt; whisk until well combined. Add oat flour and almond flour, mix well.
Preheat waffle maker. Spray top and bottom griddles with cooking spray each time and make waffles according to your waffle maker's instructions. I used about 1/3 cup batter per waffle as I found smaller waffles crisp up better.
To crisp up the waffles, arrange cooked waffles on a wire rack and bake on the middle rack of the oven for 15 minutes.
Waffles are most crispy when served right away.

Notes

Store: Refrigerate in air circulating container for up to a week. To heat up, place in a toaster for a few minutes.
Freeze: In a reusable plastic bag for up to 6 months. To thaw, place in a toaster for a few minutes.
Almond flour: I’ve tested this recipe with almond flour, almond meal, and even hazelnut meal with good results. Blanched superfine almond flour will yield the lightest and fluffiest result, though.
Oat flour: You can buy this ready-made or place oats in a high-speed blender or coffee/spice grinder and process into a fine flour consistency.
Sweetener: You can use maple syrup or honey. Other liquid sweeteners (i.e., rice syrup/a keto sweetener) will also work, feel free to use a diabetic-friendly sweetener if needed.
Don’t open the lid of the waffle maker too early: Or the waffles can break and will likely stick to the machine.
Use a classic waffle iron: Not a Belgian waffle maker. Not only does the Belgian waffle maker require more batter, but you won’t get amazingly crispy results either.
