Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1.25 cups Unsweetened almond milk (or any low-fat milk alternative)
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
• 1 Cooking spray or a small amount of oil (for greasing the waffle iron)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt until combined.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, egg, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, and honey (if using).

Step 3

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.

Step 4

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and lightly grease it with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.

Step 5

Pour the batter onto the waffle iron, using an appropriate amount per your waffle iron’s specifications (usually about 1/2 to 3/4 cup). Spread the batter slightly if needed to ensure even cooking.

Step 6

Close the waffle iron and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp. This usually takes about 4-5 minutes, but check your waffle iron’s instructions for specific timing.

Step 7

Carefully remove the waffle from the iron and transfer it to a wire rack to keep it crisp while you cook the remaining batter.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron as needed between batches.

Step 9

Serve the waffles warm with your favorite healthy toppings, such as fresh fruit, Greek yogurt, or a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
