Ingredients
- 2 cups (chopped, divided) Rhubarb
- 1 cup Water
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1.25 cups Skim milk
- 2 large (separated into yolks and whites) Eggs
- 0.25 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 Nonstick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the rhubarb sauce first. In a small saucepan, combine 1.5 cups of the chopped rhubarb, water, and 2 tablespoons of honey. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb is soft and breaks down into a sauce. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 2
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk to combine.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, mix the skim milk, egg yolks, applesauce, vanilla extract, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of honey until smooth.
Step 5
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir just until combined (do not overmix).
Step 6
Gently fold in the remaining 0.5 cups of chopped rhubarb.
Step 7
In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the waffle batter to keep it light and airy.
Step 8
Lightly coat the waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray. Pour the batter into the waffle iron, being careful not to overfill, and cook until golden brown and crispy (usually 4-6 minutes per waffle, depending on your waffle iron).
Step 9
Serve the waffles warm and drizzle with the prepared rhubarb sauce. Enjoy!
