Number of Servings: 5

Ingredients

    1-3/4 cup whole wheat flour
    1/2 tsp of salt
    1 tbsp baking powder
    2 egg yolks
    2 egg whites
    1-3/4 cup skim milk
    1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
    3 tsp Splenda
    1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

In a large mixing bowl stir flour, baking powder, Splenda and salt.
In a small mixing bowl beat egg yolks, milk, vanilla and applesauce.
Add to the flour mixture all at once.
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.
Pour batter onto preheated waffle maker which has been sprayed with non-fat cooking spray.
They take about 3-5 minutes depending on your waffle maker.
To keep waffles warm while making the batch, turn oven on to 200 and place the cooked waffles on the wire rack.
These waffles freeze well and will reheat in a toaster. This is a much healther choice than frozen ones from the grocery.

    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

    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.

    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

    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

    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

    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.

    I made the waffles for dinner tonight, and my husband and I loved them. I followed the recipe except replace the Splenda with sugar. The next time I make them I will try leaving the sugar out completely, like someone suggested. We have a small waffle iron, so it made 8. I limited myself to one! - 4/14/10

    I am curious.... It says it makes 5 servings. Does it make only 5 waffles? How many waffles are they counting in the 5 servings?

    I did add 1/2 tsp cinnamon. I've made these with both regular unsweetened applesauce and cinnamon applesauce with sucralose. The applesauce that was presweetened with sucralose DEFINITELY made them soggy but using Splenda packets and cinnamon the waffles stayed crisp.

    I won't eat anything artificial...no splenda, egg beaters.
    Better living isn't through chemistry! We are told all these chemicals are ok but why is there so many health issues that no one knows the cause of? Use applesauce as a sweetner.. small amounts of butter won't hurt-egg whites replace whole.

    These were great. The reason they're not crispy is that they don't have any real fat in them but that trade-off was well worth it to me. I did add cinnamon to the batter and I served them with sliced bananas on top and a tablespoon of real maple syrup. Next time will probably skip the syrup. - 6/14/10
