Tender Sour Cream Waffles

I was looking at breakfast recipes over on realmomkitchen yesterday. I really want to try donuts one day, but I don't need the extra calories right now, so I settled for a waffle recipe. I really liked this one. I doubled the recipe found on her website. But I didn't double the sugar or the oil. I did sub out applesauce for the oil I cut out. They still turned out delicious. Warning - use a big bowl if making this recipe. I'm writing it out how I made it which was a double batch with modifications. My first waffle stuck like crazy to my waffle iron, but the rest were ok.
I'd love to try her syrup recipe listed with the waffle recipe, but didn't today because I still had left over apple cider syrup from french toast sticks the other day.
The picture has 1/2 with peanut butter and maple syrup - my preferred way to eat waffles (although not the most beautiful picture) the other half is with the syrup I wanted to use. Yum.
