Healthy, Fluffy Whole Wheat Waffles (Vegan Option)

For the health-conscious waffle-lovers like myself! I use the vegan option and I use vital gluten to add protein. But you can change that according to what your diet needs.

• 1⁄3 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1  teaspoon vanilla
• 1 1⁄2 cups  pureed  fruit (fresh or frozen. if it is frozen fruit with syrup, use less or your batter will be too runny)
