Waffles are an easy and delicious way to serve breakfast to a few or to a crowd. These waffles are light, fluffy, and full of great taste. To keep them healthy, top them with fresh berries instead of syrup.
Ingredients:
- 2 C flour
- 1-1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
- 1-1/2 C fat free buttermilk
- 3 Tbsp. canola oil
- 3 Tbsp. molasses
- 2 tsp. fresh ginger, grated fine
- 2 large eggs, separated
- 1/2 C applesauce
Directions:
Place the flour into a large mixing bowl. Add the baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon, and toss to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, oil, and molasses until well blended. Add in the ginger and egg yolks, and whisk to combine. Fold in the applesauce. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with a mixer on high speed for about 5 minutes or until soft peaks form when the beaters are lifted up. Gently fold the egg white mixture into the batter.
Spray the waffle iron with a non-stick cooking spray and preheat. Pour 1/3 C of the batter onto the waffle iron, spreading the batter to the edges. Close the lid and cook 5 minutes or until the steam stops. Continue until all the batter has been used. Makes 9 servings.
