Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 large Egg whites
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1.25 cups Low-fat milk
- 1 teaspoon Fresh grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 medium Grated apple (peeled and cored)
- 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, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and salt. Whisk to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg whites, unsweetened applesauce, low-fat milk, grated ginger, and honey until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the grated apple, ensuring it is evenly distributed in the batter.
Lightly spray the preheated waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray.
Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the center of the waffle iron (refer to manufacturer guidelines for quantity), then close the lid.
Cook the waffle until golden brown and crisp, typically 4-6 minutes, depending on your waffle iron.
Carefully remove the cooked waffle and repeat with the remaining batter, re-spraying the waffle iron as needed.
Serve the waffles warm, optionally topped with fresh apple slices, a drizzle of honey, or a dollop of low-fat yogurt for an extra treat.
