I got a waffle-iron a couple of Christmas's ago and it's one of the favorite things in our kitchen. Chloe's able to pour in the batter pretty well now and it's fun for her to watch the egg whites turn into foam. I started out with making the traditional recipe that came with the appliance booklet, but it made way too many waffles and used an entire stick of butter. Since someone in the family has to watch their cholesterol (ok, both of us), I've adapted the Whole Wheat Waffles recipe that was also in the Oster booklet.
I should have taken a picture, but these were so good I ate them before I remembered to.
Ingredients:
1.5 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup wheat bran
4 tbs wheat germ
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs, separated
1.5 cups soy milk
2 tbs honey
4 tbs olive oil
Preheat your waffle iron
Mix the dry ingredients together
Beat the egg whites until just stiff
Mix together the egg yolks, soy milk, honey and olive oil
Using a rubber spatula, stir the egg yolk mix into the dry ingredients. Fold in the egg whites.
Pour the batter in about 1 ladle-full at a time into the pre-heated waffle iron and bake.
These are really good with maple syrup and blueberries!
