NO BUTTER NEEDED Fluffy Waffles! This easy breakfast recipe calls for applesauce instead of butter making these waffles a healthy option! I love these homemade from scratch waffles, they are so fluffy and my family always says they’re the best Saturday morning breakfast!
There’s something about Saturday morning that makes everyone want a home cooked breakfast. For many it’s the time to relax with the family and take a breather from the work week. As a little girl I always looked forward to Saturday morning breakfast, usually shared with a girlfriend of mine that would sleep over on Friday night.
As soon as we woke up, we would head downstairs to watch Saturday morning cartoons and wait for Mom to bring in delicious smelling breakfast! Sometimes it would be cinnamon rolls, sometimes it would be blueberry pancakes and sometimes it would be the fluffy waffles!
With a craving for waffles I wanted to relive my childhood Saturday mornings so I made these No Butter Needed Fluffy Waffles! I hope you like them as much as I do!
I love “No butter” recipes for a few reasons. First, how many times have you wanted to make a recipe and went to grab the butter to find out you were either all out or only had a tablespoon left? It’s happened to me too many times!
Secondly, no butter means healthier, which means you can have more waffles! So you can see these No Butter Needed Fluffy Waffles are a total win. Isn’t it great how that works out?
I love these waffles because they are extra fluffy! Trust me, you will not miss the butter at all for these! Whenever I make these No Butter Needed Fluffy Waffles I always make a double batch, one to enjoy right away, and one to freeze for later!
Hope you enjoy this waffle recipe without butter! Make sure to serve with maple syrup!
PS. If you’re looking for No Butter Pancakes, look no further and try this recipe! It’s a reader favorite!

It sounds & looks delicious Pamela! I don’t believe you would miss the butter at all. It’s wonderful how applesauce takes the place of it. Pinned.

At first I read, No Butter and thought, that sounds wrong, but after reading the whole post, I’m willing to give it a try. Your recipes are always fantastic, so I trust you and really, you had me at waffles. 😉
Dropped by from #BloggersPitStop but I’m always happy to be here (my waistline isn’t, but I am).
Off to share so others can find you. 🙂
Hope this weekend treats you kindly. 🙂

Waffles are a family favorite for us. It’s almost hard to believe that I still don’t own a waffle maker. This just might be the recipe to change that! Thanks so much for sharing at the #happynowlinkup!

I love waffles. My Mom often cooked the full meal deal type breakfast, but pancakes were her thing. Probably because of timing of course. Anyway ever since I was a girl I think of waffles as special.
These really really do look amazingly fluffy. I printed the recipe out to give it a try. It’s cool being an adult, because you can have waffles whenever you want them!!!!!
