Healthy Pumpkin Waffles
Description
Healthy Pumpkin Waffles combine milk, pumpkin puree, egg yolk, vanilla extract, canola oil, and brown sugar into a batter enriched with ground cinnamon and nutmeg for autumnal warmth. Dry ingredients include whole wheat and all-purpose flours, baking powder, and salt. Whipped egg whites fold into the batter last, lending a lighter texture and aiding in gentle rise during cooking.
Cooking the batter in a preheated waffle iron after greasing ensures a crisp exterior and soft crumb inside. Portion control depends on the waffle iron size, typically using about half to three-quarters cup of batter each time. Serving these waffles hot with butter and maple syrup complements their mild pumpkin and spice flavor, creating a comforting breakfast treat.
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg separated
- 1/2 cup pumpkin pureed
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat waffle iron.
- In a large bowl, mix together milk, egg yolk, pumpkin, vanilla, oil, and brown sugar. In a separate bowl beat egg white until firm peaks form, set aside. Slowly combine dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Lastly, fold in the egg whites to the batter.
- Once the waffle iron is hot, spray with nonstick cooking spray or brush with melted butter.
- Pour 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup of batter onto the waffle iron, depending on how large your waffle iron is. Close the top and cook about 2 minutes, or until desired doneness.
- Serve hot with butter and maple syrup!
