Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup low-fat milk
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to its manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk them together to ensure they are evenly mixed.
In another bowl, whisk together the applesauce, egg, vanilla extract, and low-fat milk until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the waffles tough.
Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the batter until evenly distributed.
Lightly coat the waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray.
Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron (the amount will vary based on your waffle iron size) and close the lid.
Cook the waffles for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crisp. Cooking times may vary based on your waffle iron. Follow the manufacturer's cues.
Once cooked, carefully remove the waffle and keep it warm. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Serve the waffles warm, optionally with a sprinkle of fresh blueberries and a drizzle of maple syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar.
