Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.75 cups skim milk
- 2 large egg whites
- 0.25 cup applesauce (unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- cooking spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Whisk them together to thoroughly mix the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the skim milk, egg whites, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once preheated, lightly coat the surfaces with cooking spray.
Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the hot waffle iron considering the size of your appliance. Close the lid and cook according to your waffle iron's directions, typically about 4-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.
Carefully remove the waffles and keep them warm in a preheated oven at low heat if necessary while you cook the remaining batter.
Serve immediately with your choice of toppings such as fresh fruit, yogurt, or a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for a healthy addition.
