Lowfat Belgian Waffles

I find it a fun challenge to find tasty ways to make my favorite recipes low-fat. And since I love waffles (which you can see by the numerous waffle recipes I have posted), I decided to create a tasty waffle recipe that is lower in fat. This recipe succeeds in creating lower fat version of a tasty original as far as the waffle itself is concerned. What you top it with is up to you. What happens in your kitchen stays in your kitchen! 🙂

For further suggestions on how to make these beauties, read on….

You don’t have to separate the eggs and beat the egg whites separately….but I feel like it makes a real difference in how fluffy the waffles turn out. And with a mixer, it doesn’t really take that much longer. Once you have the egg whites beaten until there are soft, white peaks, set aside. Beat the egg yolks, milk and vanilla until frothy. Beat in the dry ingredients. Fold in the egg whites with a spatula. Do not mix in with a mixer! You want the egg whites to stay fluffy because that transfers to a fluffier waffle!

Pour batter onto a waffle iron sprayed with cooking spray and cook until your waffle iron indicates it’s ready or until steaming stops. Make sure to spray the waffle iron before EACH waffle since there is no butter or oil in this batter, or you’ll be scraping your waffle iron like you do your car window after a road trip!
