Fluffy and light, these waffles are not only delicious, but are a healthy alternative to traditional waffles! These waffles are simple to make, and most of the prep is done the night before, so breakfast comes together in a jiffy!

These waffles would be great paired with a side of eggs, or even a smoothie for a great balance of protein and carbohydrates to jump start your morning and keep you fueled all day long!
Ingredients:
- 1 package (1/4 oz) active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1 tsp sugar
- 2 cups warm fat-free milk
- 2 eggs, separated
- 2 tbs butter, melted
- 1 tbs canola oil
- 1 3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 tsp salt
- *optional toppings: cinnamon, fruit, light whipped cream, low sugar syrup, or honey.
Method:
- In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Add sugar and let stand for 5 minutes. Add the milk, egg yolks, butter and oil, (refrigerate the egg whites). Combine flour and salt and stir into milk mixture. Cover bowl and refrigerate overnight.
- The next morning, (or when ready to make waffles), beat egg whites until stiff peaks form, (I use my kitchen aid mixer for this). Remove batter (that you made the night before), from the fridge, and stir. Fold egg whites into the batter.
- Pour 1/4 cup of the mixture into a pre-heated waffle maker, and remove when golden brown. Enjoy with topping of choice.
Enjoy! Love Katie
