Healthy Low Fat Lemon Waffles Whole Wheat Food

BEST HEALTHY WAFFLES

Steps:

• Combine dry ingredients: Mix the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl.Mix wet ingredients: Whisk the egg YOLKS, buttermilk, club soda, butter, maple syrup and vanilla extract in a large measuring jug until smooth.
• Beat egg whites: Beat the egg WHITES in a clean bowl with electric beaters until stiff peaks form.Combine batter: Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir just to combine (4-5 stirs should be enough!). Add the beaten egg whites and carefully fold in just until incorporated. Do NOT overmix. Batter will be thick. If it's too thick, add a few extra tablespoons club soda.
• Bake waffles: Cook the waffles according to your waffle iron's instructions. I scoop the batter with a cookie scoop to make less of a mess.
• Serve: Serve the waffles hot right out of the waffle iron - that's when they're the crispiest!

HEALTHY WAFFLE RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, lightly beat eggs. Add milk, maple syrup, olive oil, vanilla, baking powder and salt; whisk until well combined. Add whole wheat flour, mix well.
• Preheat waffle maker. If your waffle maker is cast iron you might have to spray it with cooking spray to prevent waffles from sticking but maybe not since batter has enough oil. Try one and see how it comes out.
• Make waffles according to your waffle maker's instructions. Amount of batter depends on the size of your waffle maker. I used about 1/3 cup batter per waffle. For crispier waffles, I also cook a bit past the green Ready indicator.
