Yield
4 servings
Ingredients
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup oats (quick-cooking)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup nuts (pecans, unsalted, chopped)
2 eggs (large, separated)
1 1/2 cups milk (fat-free (skim))
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cups berries (strawberries, halved)
1 cup berries (blackberries)
1 cup berries (blueberries)
1 teaspoon sugar (powdered)
Instrucciones
- Preheat waffle iron.
- Combine flour, oats, baking powder, sugar, and pecans in a large bowl.
- Combine egg yolks, milk, and vegetable oil in a separate bowl, and mix well.
- Add liquid mixture to the dry ingredients, and stir together. Do not overmix; mixture should be a bit lumpy.
- Whip egg whites to medium peaks. Gently fold egg whites into batter.
- Pour batter into preheated waffle iron, and cook until the waffle iron light signals it’s done or steam stops coming out of the iron. A waffle is perfect when it is crisp and well-browned on the outside with a moist, light, airy and fluffy inside. (Or make pancakes.)
- Add fresh fruit and a light dusting of powdered sugar to each waffle, and serve.
