Start by adding coconut milk and apple cider vinegar into a mixing bowl. Stir together and let sit for 5 minutes. (This creates a dairy-free buttermilk.)
Making the Waffle Batter
Next add cassava flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a bowl. Whisk together.
Then add eggs, vanilla extract, and applesauce into the coconut milk and apple cider vinegar. Whisk together until you see small bubbles at the top.
Finally, combine the dry and wet mixture with a whisk. It should be a smooth consistency. Set aside while you pre-heat the waffle maker.
Cooking the Waffles
Plug in the mini waffle maker and wait until you hear the click or a light flashes on signaling that it's ready to use. Pour about ¼ cup of mixture into the waffle maker and cook for 2 minutes.
After two minutes, pop open the waffle maker and use a fork to pull it out. Repeat until all of the batter is gone. (It should make about 8 waffles.)
Notes
Expert Tips

Set a timer for 2 minutes, do not open the waffle maker before the timer goes off.
Do not add too much batter into the waffle maker or it will spill out.
Let the apple cider vinegar and coconut milk sit for at least 5 minutes.
