Our family loves this waffle recipe! I originally found the recipe on Allrecipes.com, called Waffles I. We modified the recipe to remove the dairy and white sugar. Please note there are three egg whites in this recipe.
This recipe is quick to mix up and make on the waffle iron, about 25 minutes total time. It’s also relatively healthy, and our kids (2 and 4) love them!
If you’d like to remove the eggs from this recipe for a vegan option, you can use applesauce (unsweetened, organic), 1/4 Cup of Applesauce = 1 Egg. We us this method in our pancake recipe. There are several other egg replacement options – please review the following articles for other ideas: Epicurious.com, Draxe.com

The original recipe called for 1 tablespoon of white sugar which we removed as the kids can't tell, especially when the waffles will be smothered in maple syrup. Depending on your preference for sugar and sweetness, you may want to add back the white sugar, or try one of following substitutes:
- Honey: 3/4 tablespoon
- Maple Syrup: 3/4 tablespoon
- Agave Nectar: 3/4 tablespoon
- Stevia: 1/8 teaspoon
