Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1.25 cups Low-fat milk
- 2 large Egg whites
- 0.25 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Fresh strawberries
- 0.5 cup Light whipped cream
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar. Whisk to blend the dry ingredients evenly.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the low-fat milk, egg whites, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps in the batter.
Lightly coat the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray before making each waffle.
Pour the appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron (check your manufacturer's instructions for the right amount, usually about 1/2 to 3/4 cup per waffle). Spread the batter evenly, if necessary.
Close the waffle iron and cook until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Wash and slice the fresh strawberries while the waffles cook.
Serve the waffles warm, topped with fresh strawberry slices and a dollop of light whipped cream for each portion.
Enjoy your healthy, low-fat waffles!
