Ingredients
Units
- 1 cups (237 ml) whole wheat flour
- 3/4 t. cinnamon
- 1/2 t. kosher salt
- 2 t. sugar
- 1/4 t. baking soda
- 1 cups (237 ml) unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 egg separated
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) grapeseed oil
- 1 t. vanilla extract
- 1 apple diced
- 1/2 t. cinnamon
- 2 t. brown sugar
- 1/2 tbsp (7 ml) butter
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle maker.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, salt, sugar, and baking soda.
- In two small bowls, separate the egg yolk and white.
- In the bowl with the egg yolk, add the almond milk, oil, and vanilla and whisk together.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir together.
- Whisk the egg white until stiff peaks form and then fold it into the waffle batter.
- Depending on the size of your waffle maker, add 3/4-1 cup of the batter.
- Bake the waffles until they are golden brown.
- To Make the Apple Topping
- Melt the butter in a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the diced apple, brown sugar, and cinnamon and stir together.
- Cook the apple mixture for about 3 minutes, or until the apple has softened slightly and caramelized.
- Serve the waffles topped with apple topping and maple syrup, if desired.
Notes
- For extra fluffy waffles, let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes before cooking.
- Use a firm apple like Honeycrisp or Fuji for the topping to prevent mushiness.
- Leftover waffles can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or frozen for up to a month.
