Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1.25 cups Unsweetened almond milk (or any low-fat milk alternative)
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 Cooking spray or a small amount of oil (for greasing the waffle iron)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, egg, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, and honey (if using).
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and lightly grease it with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
Pour the batter onto the waffle iron, using an appropriate amount per your waffle iron’s specifications (usually about 1/2 to 3/4 cup). Spread the batter slightly if needed to ensure even cooking.
Close the waffle iron and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp. This usually takes about 4-5 minutes, but check your waffle iron’s instructions for specific timing.
Carefully remove the waffle from the iron and transfer it to a wire rack to keep it crisp while you cook the remaining batter.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron as needed between batches.
Serve the waffles warm with your favorite healthy toppings, such as fresh fruit, Greek yogurt, or a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
