Cook Time: 45 min   Recipe by Juli Bauer paleomg.com

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup applesauce
• 3 large eggs, whisked
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
• 1 cup tapioca or almond flour
• 1 cup Vanilla Protein Powder*
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• pinch of salt

Method

1. Whisk together applesauce, eggs, vanilla extract, and coconut oil.
2. Add tapioca/almond flour and whisk until combined. Then add protein powder and whisk again to combine. Lastly, add baking soda, cinnamon and a pitch of salt and mix well.
3. Pour batter into a greased hot waffle iron and cook until crispy. Be patient. Mine took less than 5 minutes per waffle. Repeat with the rest of the batter. My batter made 6 round waffles.
4. While the waffles cook, add fat to a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Add the apples and cook until soft, about 5-6 minutes. Then add syrup, vanilla, and cinnamon. Toss to coat.
5. Top each waffle with your nut butter of choice, sautéed apples and extra maple syrup on top, before serving.
