Recipe for Healthy Waffles

January 21, 2021 admin 0 Comments

A healthy buffalo recipe typically involves using lean protein, whole grains, and minimizing the amount of butter and oil used.

Here’s a delicious and nutritious whole wheat waffle recipe that you can try:

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk (or plant-based milk for a vegan option)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or any sweetener of your choice)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Cooking spray or a little oil for greasing the waffle iron

Optional toppings:

  • Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • Sliced bananas
  • Chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans)
  • Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for a vegan option)
  • Additional maple syrup for drizzling

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, unsweetened applesauce, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes to allow the baking powder to activate.
  6. While the batter is resting, you can prepare your optional toppings.
  7. Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray or a little oil.
  8. Pour the batter onto the waffle iron, following the manufacturer’s instructions for the correct amount of batter.
  9. Close the waffle iron and cook the waffle until it’s golden brown and crispy.
  10. Once the waffle is done, carefully remove it from the waffle iron and place it on a plate.
  11. Top the waffle with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, sliced bananas, chopped nuts, and a drizzle of maple syrup or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
  12. Serve the waffle warm and enjoy!

This recipe makes around 4 to 6 waffles, depending on the size of your waffle iron. You can also customize this recipe by adding a pinch of cinnamon or a tablespoon of cocoa powder for a different flavor. These whole wheat waffles are a healthier alternative to traditional waffles and are perfect for a delicious and nutritious breakfast or brunch. Enjoy!
