Ingredients
- 120 g all-purpose flour
- 1.5 tsp baking powder
- 175 ml low-fat milk
- 1 large egg
- 30 g granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 120 g low-fat red bean paste (or filling of choice, e.g., low-fat custard or mashed sweet potato)
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder.
Step 2
In another bowl, whisk together the low-fat milk, egg, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 3
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until a smooth batter forms. Do not overmix.
Step 4
Preheat a taiyaki pan over medium heat. Lightly spray both sides of the pan with non-stick cooking spray to ensure the batter doesn't stick.
Step 5
Pour a small amount of batter into one side of the pan, enough to cover the fish mold thinly.
Step 6
Add about 1-2 tablespoons of low-fat red bean paste (or filling of choice) to the center of the batter, ensuring not to overfill. Cover the filling with a little more batter until it is fully enclosed.
Step 7
Close the taiyaki pan and cook on medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side, flipping the pan halfway through, until the taiyaki is golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8
Carefully remove the taiyaki from the pan using a silicone spatula or tongs. Repeat the process with the remaining batter and filling.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy your low-fat taiyaki!
