Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cup Rolled oats
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any low-fat milk alternative)
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 1 large Egg white
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
• 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips (use mini for better distribution)
• 0 as needed Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, unsweetened applesauce, egg white, vanilla extract, and honey or maple syrup until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be slightly thick.

Step 5

Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.

Step 6

Lightly coat the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Pour a portion of the batter into the preheated waffle iron (amount will depend on your waffle iron size; generally about 1/3 to 1/2 cup per waffle). Spread the batter if needed to cover the surface evenly.

Step 8

Close the waffle iron and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through. Follow your waffle iron's instructions for best results.

Step 9

Carefully remove the waffle and repeat with the remaining batter, reapplying non-stick spray as needed.

Step 10

Serve the waffles warm, optionally topped with fresh fruit, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a drizzle of additional honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness.
