Waffles
Description
These whole wheat waffles offer a delicious, heart-healthy twist on a breakfast classic. By using egg whites instead of whole eggs and combining whole wheat flour with unbleached flour, you get a tender yet sturdy waffle that holds up beautifully to toppings. The addition of nonfat buttermilk adds a subtle tang and helps create a light, airy texture, while a touch of canola oil ensures the outside gets perfectly golden and crisp. They are ideal for a nutritious weekend brunch or a quick weekday morning. Serve them warm with fresh berries, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of Greek yogurt for a satisfying start to your day.Ingredients
Directions
-
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
-
In a large bowl, lightly beat the egg whites until they become frothy.
-
Add the baking powder, baking soda, whole wheat flour, unbleached flour, nonfat buttermilk, and canola oil to the egg whites.
-
Stir gently until the batter is smooth and just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the waffles tender.
-
Pour approximately 1/2 cup of batter onto the center of the hot waffle iron.
-
Close the lid and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the steaming stops and the waffle is golden brown.
-
Carefully remove the waffle from the iron and serve immediately.
-
Repeat with remaining batter to make 8 waffles total.
