Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup low-fat milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup applesauce
- 2 sprays non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg and then mix in the low-fat milk, vanilla extract, and applesauce until fully incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough waffles.
Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron using non-stick cooking spray.
Pour the appropriate amount of batter onto the waffle iron (refer to your waffle iron's instructions; typically about 1/2 cup per waffle).
Close the lid and cook until the waffles are crisp and cooked through. This usually takes about 3 to 5 minutes, but timing may vary depending on your waffle iron.
Carefully remove the waffles and repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, a drizzle of low-fat yogurt, or a light dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
