In a medium bowl, mash up the banana and applesauce. Add in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract and whisk to combine.
Add the flour, cane sugar, baking powder, sea salt, cinnamon, and cloves and whisk to combine completely.
Allow waffle iron to get warm, I cooked these on setting 4 on my waffle iron that I linked above. But, medium on any iron will do! Measure about 1 to 2 cups of batter into the waffle iron for a full waffle. If you have a smaller iron do the amount of batter right for that! Cook until waffle iron beeps on the setting of your choice.
Serve immediately with a sprinkle of cinnamon, apple slices, and maple syrup.
Store extra waffles in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Tips
Always use a digital food scale for the best results.
You can use any size or shape waffle iron that you like. I've made these both square and round, they're delicious all ways!
These are freezer friendly. Simply allow to cool, then place in an airtight container and store in the freezer.
You can reheat frozen waffles in your toaster or even air fryer.
