Recipe Notes

There are several other egg replacement options – please review the following articles for other ideas: Epicurious.com and 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
