Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of Kodiak Cakes Power Cakes mix, 3/4 cup of unsweetened almond milk, 1 large egg, 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce, 1/2 teaspoon low sodium baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well combined. The batter should be slightly thick but pourable.
Lightly coat the waffle iron with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Pour the appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron. Close the lid and cook according to the waffle iron directions, generally about 4-5 minutes, or until waffles are golden brown and cooked through.
Carefully remove the waffles from the waffle iron and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Serve the waffles warm. They can be topped with fresh fruits, yogurt, or a drizzle of pure maple syrup as per your preference.
