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.
