Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Diabetic-friendly waffle mix
- 0.75 cup Low-fat buttermilk
- 2 large Egg whites
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diabetic-friendly waffle mix and low-fat buttermilk. Stir until just combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until slightly frothy. Add the egg whites, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract into the waffle mix batter. Gently fold until all ingredients are incorporated. Do not overmix.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the preheated skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter into a circle, if needed.
Cook the pancake for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancake and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining batter, lightly spraying with non-stick cooking spray as needed.
Serve warm with diabetic-friendly maple syrup, fresh berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar substitute, if desired.
