Saturdays are the best. There's no work, sleeping in is a must-do and there's always the Saturday morning lazy breakfast. This weekend Mike & I munched on these waffles. They're relatively healthy and they definitely satisfy the need for something sweet in the morning. Even though these seem like a lot of work because the eggs get separated and the whites get folded in. Believe me; it really makes for a lighter waffle. We topped ours with a blackberry syrup, but feel free to use what you like.
Nutty whole wheat waffles
Ingredients:
1 c. whole wheat flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
3 eggs, separated
1 cup milk
3 Tbsp. butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp almond extract
1/2 c. chopped nuts (I used walnuts)
Canola or vegetable oil
Special equipment: waffle iron
Directions:
1. In a large bowl combine the dry ingredients and mix with a fork.
2. In a separate, smaller bowl combine egg yolks, milk, butter, and extracts.
3. Beat egg whites to a stiff peak.
4. Pour the milk and egg yolk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
5. Fold in the egg whites and chopped nuts, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
6. Heat up a waffle iron and lightly oil with canola or vegetable oil.
7. Pour about 2/3 c. of the batter into the waffle iron and cook until the waffle is a golden brown color.
8. Repeat for the remaining batter.
