Start your morning on a nutritious note with these Sugar-Free Peanut Butter Waffles—perfectly fluffy, naturally sweetened, and packed with protein-rich peanut butter for an indulgent yet healthy treat. Made with whole wheat flour, unsweetened almond milk, and a hint of vanilla, this recipe skips refined sugar in favor of unsweetened applesauce for a subtle sweetness that complements the nutty richness of natural peanut butter. Quick to prepare and ready in under 30 minutes, these waffles are ideal for busy mornings or special weekend brunches. Serve them warm with fresh fruit, a drizzle of peanut butter, or a sprinkle of nuts for a wholesome breakfast that's both satisfying and guilt-free.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, combine the almond milk, egg, natural peanut butter, vanilla extract, and unsweetened applesauce. Whisk until smooth and the peanut butter is fully incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to ensure the waffles remain light and fluffy.
Lightly coat the waffle iron with cooking spray.
Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the center of the waffle iron, spreading it evenly but not too close to the edges.
Close the lid and cook for 4-6 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and easily remove from the iron.
Repeat with the remaining batter, ensuring to spray the waffle iron lightly between each batch to prevent sticking.
Serve the waffles warm. Consider topping them with fresh fruit or an additional drizzle of peanut butter for extra flavor.
