Healthy Waffles for Two


One of my favorite weekend breakfasts is waffles. Thank goodness weekends are two days long, so Mike can get Blueberry Pancakes and I can get Waffles. I like to serve waffles with fresh fruit, not just syrup. It's a scrumptious way to get another serving of fruit in the morning. This time, I served the waffles with a mixture of blackberries and blueberries, but strawberries are a household favorite when they are in season.


This is our recipe for Healthy Waffles for Two people:
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
7 oz 1% milk
1 c plus 1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1/2 Tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 c Splenda
1/4 c egg substitute
1/4 c canola oil
1 tsp vanilla
fresh fruit

Before gathering other ingredients, put vinegar in a Pyrex measuring cup and add enough milk to have 7 oz of fluid. Let this mixture sit at room temperature as you gather the other ingredients. Combine dry ingredients in a small bowl. Add the egg substitute, oil, and vanilla to the milk mixture, then pour the liquids into the dry ingredients. Stir with a whisk to combine, but do not over stir (a few flour lumps are fine). Spray the hot waffle iron with cooking spray, and then pour half of the batter onto the griddle, using a soup ladle. Cook the waffle for 3 minutes, 15 seconds. Remove that waffle from the griddle and keep it warm. Spray the griddle again before cooking the next waffle. This recipe makes 2 waffles.
