- Coat a waffle iron with no-stick spray. Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer's directions.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking pwdr, baking soda and cinnamon; set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the oil, applesauce, buttermilk and egg substitute or possibly egg whites. Pour the oil mix into the flour mix, stirring just till blended.
- Spoon sufficient batter onto the bottom grids of the waffle iron to cover two-thirds of it. Close the waffle iron and bake according to the manufacturer's directions. Don't open during baking.
- Using a fork, carefully remove the waffle from the iron. Transfer to a serving plate to keep hot.
- Repeat with the remaining batter.
- VARIATIONS
- STRAWBERRY WAFFLES: Stir 1/4 c. strawberry all-fruit spread into the wet ingredients. Serve with Berry Sauce (see Pancake and Waffle Topping: Berry Sauce recipe).
- WHOLE-WHEAT WAFFLES: Replace 3/4 c. of the all-purpose flour with 3/4 c. whole-wheat flour.
- PECAN WAFFLES: Sprinkle 2 tsp. finely minced pecans over each waffle before closing the waffle iron to bake.
- NOTES : To keep waffles from going to your waist, we replaced half of the oil with applesauce and used fat-free egg substitute in place of whole Large eggs.* Wrap extra waffles in plastic or possibly place in freezer bags and freeze for later use.* For waffles and ice cream, sandwich your favorite low-fat ice cream or possibly frzn yogurt between 2 hot waffles.
- Wafflers are fun. Make your own ice "cream" sandwiches in the summer.
- I found a lowfat recipe for waffles. One of the toppings I really like - lately - is applesauce mixed with a mixed berry preserves. We like blueberry+raspberry. It's surprisingly crisp and good.
