These waffles saved my life this weekend. Ok, not exactly my life, but they saved me an excessive amount of calories and money. All week I was dreaming about getting gluten free donuts once the weekend came along but then, I made these waffles and thought, “Why get out of your pajamas, in the car, drive somewhere, spend money, and then be hungry again in 20 minutes because of the sugar spike?” So I topped these waffles with lots of dairy-free chocolate chips and my favorite maple syrup and all those donut cravings went away. I will absolutely get those donuts someday, but as long as these waffles are in my house, I don’t need them!
But let’s talk about more than just these waffles…that are absolutely insanely effing good. Seriously, they are addictive! Let’s talk about my friend Lexi from Lexi’s Clean Kitchen.

Waffles are a family favorite now! Warmed up some maple syrup with grated ginger and a little butter. I did add a tablespoon of vanilla. Huge hit!

I love the pumpkin waffles, but wanted something more summery today. I didn’t have applesauce, and used buttermilk instead. I also added cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg. These waffles were perfect – crispy outside, soft inside, and had that cake doughnut taste. I served them with homemade berry compote. Mmmm-mmmm!
