Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1.25 cups skim milk
- 2 large egg white
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed and set aside.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the skim milk, egg whites, canola oil, vanilla extract, and unsweetened applesauce until well combined.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients in. Stir gently until just combined; there may still be a few lumps, which is okay. Do not over-mix.
Preheat a non-stick Belgian waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Ladle the appropriate amount of batter onto the hot waffle iron, spreading it out slightly if needed.
Close the lid and cook the pancakes until they are golden brown and cooked through, typically about 3-5 minutes, depending on the waffle iron.
Carefully remove the pancakes from the iron and repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve warm, topped with fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey, or a dusting of powdered sugar, if you like.
