Whole-Grain Apple Cinnamon Waffles

November 4, 2017 By Danielle Leave a Comment

When I was a kid Eggo waffles were my jam. Before school, after school, weekends, I couldn’t get enough of them. Then I discovered a proper fresh, hot Belgian waffle and there was no going back. My girls have never tried an Eggo (they did have a Van’s one recently and it was pretty darn good), but there’s just something about a homemade waffle that can’t be beat.

The surprising thing about homemade waffles? They’re just as easy to make as pancakes. With a few tweaks to a basic pancake recipe you can have crispy, thick waffles in no time at all. And if you don’t have a waffle maker, Amazon has a ton for super cheap. I bought an Oster one for $20 and it’s gets the job done perfectly.

Here I’ve created a delicious fall waffle filled with red apples and cinnamon. They are cozy, comforting, healthy and wonderful in these cooler months. Top with maple syrup, fresh fruit, yogurt, nut/seed butters, whatever you like best. Even better? Make a big batch and freeze for busy school mornings. Just pop in the toaster and voila, just like an Eggo only a million times tastier!

Whole-Grain Apple Cinnamon Waffles
Serves: Makes 3 Belgian-style waffles
 
Ingredients
  • 2 large eggs, separated
  • 1½ cups whole-wheat flour or gluten-free AP Blend, such as Pamela’s or King Arthur’s
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 ½ cups dairy or non-dairy milk
  • ¼ cup melted coconut oil
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 large red apple, grated
  • Maple syrup for serving
Instructions
  1. Preheat waffle maker on medium-high heat.
  2. Whip egg whites until stiff.
  3. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, milk, oil and vanilla.
  5. Add the wet to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined.
  6. Fold in stiff egg whites; fold in grated apple.
  7. Pour batter (about ⅓ cup depending on the size of your waffle maker) into the center of waffle maker and close the lid. Cook the waffles until golden brown and crisp, 4-5 minutes.

Notes
Refrigerate any extras for up to 3 days, popping in the toaster to re-heat. Waffles can also be frozen for up to 3 months, then warmed in the toaster.
