Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1.25 cups Unsweetened almond milk (or low-fat milk)
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy. Then, add the almond milk (or low-fat milk), honey, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir until the batter is just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly coat it with non-stick cooking spray.
Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the center of the preheated waffle iron (typically 1/3 to 1/2 cup, depending on the size of your waffle iron). Spread the batter evenly if needed.
Close the waffle iron and cook for 4–5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp. Follow your waffle iron’s specific instructions for timing.
Carefully remove the cooked waffle and place it on a cooling rack to prevent it from becoming soggy. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve warm with your favorite low-fat toppings, such as fresh fruit, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
