Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 pieces large egg whites
- 1.75 cups skim milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup apple sauce (unsweetened)
- non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
In another bowl, mix together the skim milk, vanilla extract, and apple sauce.
Gently fold the milk mixture into the dry ingredients until just incorporated. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the batter using a spatula, ensuring the batter remains light and airy.
Lightly coat the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray.
Pour the appropriate amount of batter into the preheated waffle iron (usually around 1/2 to 3/4 cup, depending on the size of your waffle iron) and close the lid.
Cook the waffles until they are golden brown and crisp, usually about 5-6 minutes, depending on your waffle iron. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the waffles warm with your choice of toppings such as fresh berries, sliced bananas, or a small amount of maple syrup.
