Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any low-fat milk alternative)
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 large Egg white
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips (use mini for better distribution)
- as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, unsweetened applesauce, egg white, vanilla extract, and honey or maple syrup until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be slightly thick.
Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.
Lightly coat the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Pour a portion of the batter into the preheated waffle iron (amount will depend on your waffle iron size; generally about 1/3 to 1/2 cup per waffle). Spread the batter if needed to cover the surface evenly.
Close the waffle iron and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through. Follow your waffle iron's instructions for best results.
Carefully remove the waffle and repeat with the remaining batter, reapplying non-stick spray as needed.
Serve the waffles warm, optionally topped with fresh fruit, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a drizzle of additional honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness.
