Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1.25 cups skim milk
- 2 large egg white
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed and set aside.
Step 2
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the skim milk, egg whites, canola oil, vanilla extract, and unsweetened applesauce until well combined.
Step 3
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients in. Stir gently until just combined; there may still be a few lumps, which is okay. Do not over-mix.
Step 4
Preheat a non-stick Belgian waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Step 5
Ladle the appropriate amount of batter onto the hot waffle iron, spreading it out slightly if needed.
Step 6
Close the lid and cook the pancakes until they are golden brown and cooked through, typically about 3-5 minutes, depending on the waffle iron.
Step 7
Carefully remove the pancakes from the iron and repeat with the remaining batter.
Step 8
Serve warm, topped with fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey, or a dusting of powdered sugar, if you like.
