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
Preheat waffle maker on medium-high heat.
Whip egg whites until stiff.
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, milk, oil and vanilla.
Add the wet to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined.
Fold in stiff egg whites; fold in grated apple.
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.
Serve warm with maple syrup.
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.
