For a richer flavor, use melted butter or coconut oil instead of applesauce. If you don't have a sourdough starter, you can substitute with sour milk or buttermilk. To make sour milk, add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to a cup of milk and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it curdles slightly. Feel free to add a dash of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the batter for extra flavor. These waffles are best served immediately. However, you can keep them warm in a preheated oven at 200°F until ready to serve. Leftover waffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster or oven for best results.
