2 cups milk
8 Tbsp. butter (1 stick)

  • Heat in saucepan until butter is melted, then cool down to 110°F.

2 cups flour (or Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 baking flour)
1 Tbsp. sugar
1.5 tsp. instant yeast or 4 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla

  • Whisk dry ingredients to mix well.
  • Slowly add milk/butter and whisk until smooth.
  • Beat eggs and vanilla in small bowl and add to batter.
  • If using gluten-free flour, you may need to add 2-4 tbsp. more milk to make the batter thin enough to whisk.
  • Rest 1 hour, or refrigerate 12-24 hours if using yeast.
  • Bake waffles in waffle maker according to directions.

2015-03-26 20:16:34: Applesauce recipe:

2 eggs
1¾ cup milk
½ cup applesauce
2 Tbsp. butter, melted
1 Tbsp. sugar
1 Tbsp. baking soda
¼ tsp. salt
2 cups flour

  • Beat eggs, then stir in remaining ingredients except flour.
  • Add flour and mix until just combined, leaving lumps.
  • Pour 1 cup of batter into waffle maker and bake according to waffle-maker instructions.

2019-03-09 13:33:33: Reduced butter variant:

  • Reduce butter to 3.5 Tbsp.
  • Add 1 egg and 4 Tbsp. (1/4 cup) canola oil to egg/vanilla mixture.

No noticeable difference in taste/texture. Batter was smoother and easier to pour into waffle iron.

08/18/2026: Updating with gluten-free directions. With no modifications, the batter is a little too thick — adding some milk to get the consistency right makes it work perfectly.
