Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup low-fat milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup applesauce
- 2 sprays 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 all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg and then mix in the low-fat milk, vanilla extract, and applesauce until fully incorporated.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough waffles.
Step 5
Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron using non-stick cooking spray.
Step 6
Pour the appropriate amount of batter onto the waffle iron (refer to your waffle iron's instructions; typically about 1/2 cup per waffle).
Step 7
Close the lid and cook until the waffles are crisp and cooked through. This usually takes about 3 to 5 minutes, but timing may vary depending on your waffle iron.
Step 8
Carefully remove the waffles and repeat with the remaining batter.
Step 9
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, a drizzle of low-fat yogurt, or a light dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
