Stir mixture until blended.
In small mixer bowl beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold beaten egg whites into original mixture and do not over mix.

They take about 3-5 minutes depending on your waffle maker.

    Great waffles! I used regular sugar. It's only 1 Tbsp, and I try to eliminate artificial ingredients when I cook. I think these will become a regular addition to our weekend menus. - 4/14/08

    Thanks so much! I have since switched to regular raw sugar also. I find it makes a crisper waffle without artificial sweeteners. I originally submitted this recipe when Splenda was a miracle. Little did we know. Thanks again. I am glad you like the recipe. Happy eating

    Hi guys. The reason for the sogginess of the waffles is likely Splenda. Regular waffles are crispy because the sugar in them caramelizes. Splenda doesn't do that as well as regular sugar. If you must have your waffles crispy, try replacing the Splenda with sugar. - 6/11/09

    I left out the sweetner entirely,my regular waffle recipe has no sugar in it either,but I added cinnamon because of the applesauce. MMMM good! - 5/1/09

    These tasted wonderful! I accidentally left out the vanilla and purposely left out the sugar. Yum-yum. They were enjoyed by all seven of my children. I took it one step further: I spread a little natural peanut butter and cut banana on top with a light drizzle of sugar-free syrup. Tasty! - 9/4/09

    Very similar to the recipe I have been using for years. JABLESON, I just add a little more liquid when I make pancakes--about 1/8 cup milk more for this recipe--than when I make waffles.
    For anyone who craves those wonderful Danish Aebleskivers (and has a pan) this recipe is the right consistancy. - 8/20/09

    These waffles were great!I selected this particular recipe because it mentions they freeze and reheat well in a toaster which is what I was looking to do. The recipe is absolutely right! I had one for breakfast this morning and it was fantastic! Possibly even better than fresh off the waffle maker. - 11/4/09

    My husband and I both enjoyed these. Very light, not dry. I did not beat the egg whites as instructed and they still turned out well.

    I used brown sugar instead of the Splenda, added some tart cherries. I'll use all egg white next time to reduce fat and cholesterol. And try it with some ground flax seed. - 8/7/09

    I've made these a few times now, my whole family loves them and they are sooo much better for us then the white flour ones we used to eat. - 3/10/07

    Very good. Most of the time I sift whole wheat flour and other dry for a lighter result. - 7/26/09
  • MOLLYJ96
    Wonderful! So good and filling... this is the second time I've made them. The only thing I change is that I use cinnamon applesause... so good! - 6/23/09

    I made these this morning. My family loves pancakes. The kids didn't notice that they were whole wheat. They just wanted more. - 3/24/07
  • DMHANSON
    These were great. I even added walnuts and huckleberries and they were so easy to make. - 3/19/07
  • ETHELMERZ
    These are way better with Splenda if you are sugar sensitive!! Applesauce makes them soggy and too sweet tasting. - 10/1/09
  • SOMASO
    Awesome taste! Great all by themselves witout sryup or jelly or whatever! I used Splenda for my diabetic husband. - 8/27/09

    My kids loved them. Doubling recipe works great, but don't triple. Added wheat germ and ground flax seed-still delicious. - 4/8/08
  • LINSUARA
    I made these this morning and added stevia instead of splenda. I think next time I won't sweeten them. They are delicious and I froze some. - 10/3/09

    These were great! I used regular sugar instead of Splenda also. My boyfriend and mom enjoyed them also. I used a lite syrup for mine but mom used some fresh fruit toppings. I would make these again! - 10/3/09
  • GIRLWHOLIVED
    The whole family loved them. They have so much more flavor than the 'boxed' waffle mix. Mine weren't really crispy, but that might be more the fault of my waffle maker than the mix. They were still really good though. And frozen the left over reheated well in the toaster! - 5/18/09
  • SQUINDLE
    The waffles were very good. I omitted the salt from the recipe. Thank you for making it available. - 4/25/09
  • PIANO_DAN
    Nice taste. The cooking spray is absolutely essential on every waffle. Had some stick to the non-stick waffle iron! The tended to fall apart upon removing them from the iron.

    Made 8 waffles in my 'two spot' iron. - 8/11/07
  • GOALTNDR
    This was my first attempt at making anything with whole wheat flour. The waffles turned out great. I made them on my Geroge Foreman 5 in 1 grill and they didn't stick one time. Awesome recipe - 1/8/08
  • KYOTEMOM7
    I made this with freshly ground wheat flour and it was great. Even my children loved it! - 5/7/09
