1. 1

   Stir together the warm water and flaxseed meal in a medium bowl and let the mixture rest for 5 minutes to thicken.

2. 2

   Whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl until evenly combined.

3. 3

   Stir the almond milk, oil, applesauce, and vanilla extract into the flaxseed mixture until smooth, then pour into the dry ingredients and fold together until just incorporated — do not overmix.

4. 4

   Heat a waffle iron to the setting recommended by the manufacturer.

5. 5

   Pour batter into the center of the hot waffle iron and cook each waffle until golden brown and the iron no longer releases steam, about 5 minutes. Continue with the remaining batter.
