Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1.5 cups low-fat milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 0.5 cup walnuts, chopped
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil or non-stick spray
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Stir well to ensure an even distribution of ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, applesauce, and honey until fully combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to avoid tough waffles.
Fold in the chia seeds and chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly dispersed throughout the batter.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with coconut oil or non-stick spray.
Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron, based on the manufacturer's recommendations, and close the lid.
Cook for 4-6 minutes or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp. Note that cooking times may vary with different waffle irons.
Carefully remove the waffles and serve immediately with your choice of toppings such as fresh fruit, yogurt, or nut butter.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron as needed.
