Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1.25 cups Low-fat milk
- 1 Egg
- 0.25 cup Low-fat peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, low-fat milk, egg, low-fat peanut butter, vanilla extract, and sugar. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and the peanut butter is fully incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly coat the waffle iron with cooking spray.
Pour the batter into the hot waffle iron, using about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of batter, depending on the size of your waffle iron. Spread the batter evenly and close the lid.
Cook the waffles until they are golden brown and cooked through, usually about 4-5 minutes per waffle. Again, the cooking time may vary depending on the waffle iron.
Carefully remove the waffle from the iron and repeat with the remaining batter, re-applying cooking spray as needed.
Serve the waffles warm, optionally topped with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup and some sliced bananas for added sweetness and flavor.
