Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1.25 cups Unsweetened almond milk (or low-fat milk)
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy. Then, add the almond milk (or low-fat milk), honey, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Step 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir until the batter is just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Step 4
Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly coat it with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 5
Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the center of the preheated waffle iron (typically 1/3 to 1/2 cup, depending on the size of your waffle iron). Spread the batter evenly if needed.
Step 6
Close the waffle iron and cook for 4–5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp. Follow your waffle iron’s specific instructions for timing.
Step 7
Carefully remove the cooked waffle and place it on a cooling rack to prevent it from becoming soggy. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Step 8
Serve warm with your favorite low-fat toppings, such as fresh fruit, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
