Easy Gluten Free, Vegan Waffles

My Grandson has a dairy allergy, but we wanted to see how he liked waffles so we came up with a nice easy vegan recipe. HE LOVED IT! There are so many variations with this as well.

• Ready In: 15 mins
• Serves: 10-12

Ingredients

• 2  cups  gluten-free flour (this is easy to use with Whole Wheat Flour as an option as well)
• 4  teaspoons baking powder
• 2  tablespoons sugar
• 1 1⁄2 cups  hemp milk (almond, soy, rice, breast, or any other dairy free milk are options)
• 1  cup applesauce
• 1⁄3 cup  Smart Balance light butter spread
• 1  teaspoon vanilla extract (maple extract would be good as well to give the syrup flavor if you don't add syrup)

Directions

1. 1. Preheat waffle iron to desired temperature.
2. 2. In a large bowl, mix together flour, salt, baking powder and sugar; set aside.
3. 3. Stir in the milk, butter and vanilla. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture, add applesauce; beat until blended.
