Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 2 large egg whites
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 0 as needed 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 cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, combine the almond milk, egg whites, honey, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil. Beat the mixture until smooth and uniform.
Step 4
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Step 5
Lightly coat the waffle iron with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Pour a ladleful of batter onto the center of the preheated waffle iron. Close the lid and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and crisp. The cooking time may vary depending on the waffle iron model.
Step 7
Carefully remove the waffle and place it on a warm plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Step 8
Serve the waffles immediately with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, a dollop of yogurt, or a drizzle of honey.
