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
- Cooking spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the low-fat milk, egg whites, applesauce, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing; some lumps are okay.
Set your waffle iron to the desired temperature and allow it to preheat.
Lightly coat the waffle iron with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Pour about 1/2 cup of batter (or the amount recommended by your waffle iron manufacturer) into the center of the waffle iron and close the lid.
Cook the waffle according to the waffle iron's instructions, usually about 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Carefully remove the waffle and repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, low-fat yogurt, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
