Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups whole wheat flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup Brussels sprouts, shredded
- 0.5 cup rolled oats
- 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and ground cinnamon. Whisk together to ensure even distribution of the baking powder.
Add the shredded Brussels sprouts and rolled oats to the dry ingredients and mix until the Brussels pieces are evenly coated with flour.
In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk, unsweetened applesauce, egg whites, honey, vanilla extract, and olive oil until smooth.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the waffles light and airy.
Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Once the iron is hot, lightly coat the cooking surfaces with a non-stick spray or a small amount of olive oil.
Ladle the batter onto the center of the preheated waffle iron, using about 1/2 cup for each waffle, depending on the size of your waffle iron.
Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, about 4-5 minutes, depending on your iron.
Carefully remove the waffles and repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve waffles warm, optionally topped with fresh berries or a drizzle of additional honey if desired.
