Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 pieces large egg whites
- 1.75 cups skim milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup apple sauce (unsweetened)
- 0 non-stick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
Step 4
In another bowl, mix together the skim milk, vanilla extract, and apple sauce.
Step 5
Gently fold the milk mixture into the dry ingredients until just incorporated. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Step 6
Carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the batter using a spatula, ensuring the batter remains light and airy.
Step 7
Lightly coat the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 8
Pour the appropriate amount of batter into the preheated waffle iron (usually around 1/2 to 3/4 cup, depending on the size of your waffle iron) and close the lid.
Step 9
Cook the waffles until they are golden brown and crisp, usually about 5-6 minutes, depending on your waffle iron. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Step 10
Serve the waffles warm with your choice of toppings such as fresh berries, sliced bananas, or a small amount of maple syrup.
