Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 0.5 cup rolled oats
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat pastry flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the unsweetened almond milk, egg whites, honey, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the waffles light and fluffy.
Stir in the canola oil until incorporated.
Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with a light spray of canola oil if necessary to prevent sticking.
Pour enough batter onto the waffle iron to just cover the waffle grid. Close the lid and cook the waffle until it is golden brown and crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
Remove the waffle from the iron and repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the waffles warm, with your choice of heart-healthy toppings like fresh berries, sliced bananas, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
