Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1.25 cups Low-fat milk
- 2 large Egg whites
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Applesauce
- as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the low-fat milk, egg whites, honey, and applesauce until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense waffles.
Lightly coat the waffle iron with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Scoop about 1/2 cup of the batter onto the preheated waffle iron. Close the lid and cook the waffle until crispy and golden brown, about 4-5 minutes depending on your iron.
Carefully remove the waffle and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Serve the waffles warm, topped with your choice of fruit, a drizzle of honey, or a dollop of fat-free yogurt for a healthier option.
