Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (chopped, divided) Rhubarb
- 1 cup Water
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1.25 cups Skim milk
- 2 large (separated into yolks and whites) Eggs
- 0.25 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Prepare the rhubarb sauce first. In a small saucepan, combine 1.5 cups of the chopped rhubarb, water, and 2 tablespoons of honey. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb is soft and breaks down into a sauce. Remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk to combine.
In a separate bowl, mix the skim milk, egg yolks, applesauce, vanilla extract, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of honey until smooth.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir just until combined (do not overmix).
Gently fold in the remaining 0.5 cups of chopped rhubarb.
In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the waffle batter to keep it light and airy.
Lightly coat the waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray. Pour the batter into the waffle iron, being careful not to overfill, and cook until golden brown and crispy (usually 4-6 minutes per waffle, depending on your waffle iron).
Serve the waffles warm and drizzle with the prepared rhubarb sauce. Enjoy!
