Ingredients

• 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
• 0.5 cup rolled oats
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 2 large egg whites
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons canola oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat pastry flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, combine the unsweetened almond milk, egg whites, honey, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the waffles light and fluffy.

Step 4

Stir in the canola oil until incorporated.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with a light spray of canola oil if necessary to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Pour enough batter onto the waffle iron to just cover the waffle grid. Close the lid and cook the waffle until it is golden brown and crisp, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the waffle from the iron and repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 9

Serve the waffles warm, with your choice of heart-healthy toppings like fresh berries, sliced bananas, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
