Multigrain Chia Waffles
These multigrain waffles are super filling, with ingredients like chia seeds and flax to add extra fiber. My kids love these waffles with chocolate chips!

- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 egg beaten

- ¼ teaspoon salt Optional
Instructions
- Preheat a waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions; spray the inside with cooking spray.
- Whisk almond milk, applesauce, egg, chia seeds, and vanilla extract together in a bowl; let sit until chia seeds start to thicken mixture, about 2 minutes.

Notes
Cook’s Note
These waffles freeze beautifully. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Flash-freeze the waffles for 30 minutes. Place frozen waffles in a freezer bag. Toast individually frozen waffles in a toaster oven for 5 minutes.
Before serving, place cooked waffles on paper towels to avoid sogginess.
