Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.25 cups Low-fat buttermilk
- 2 large Egg whites
- 0.25 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- as needed 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, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
In a medium bowl, whisk the low-fat buttermilk, egg whites, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a light and fluffy texture.
Lightly coat the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray.
Pour a portion of the batter (according to your waffle iron's specifications) onto the center of the heated waffle iron.
Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, usually about 4-5 minutes (time may vary depending on the waffle iron).
Carefully remove the waffle and repeat with the remaining batter, reapplying non-stick cooking spray as needed.
Serve warm with your favorite low-fat toppings such as fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey, or a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
