A homemade waffle takes some time to make but trust me, it is worth it! Crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. You can fill these with any fruit you like. My family opted for strawberries but blueberry or banana would also be delicious choices! You can make the batter the night before so it is ready to go in the morning. And you can start making these early if you are having company over and just keep them warm in the oven until you are ready to eat.
Serves 6
2 extra large eggs lightly beaten
1 cup non fat greek yogurt
3/4 cup low fat milk
1/4 cup canola or vegetable oil
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tablespoons cane sugar
2 cups flour
4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
1.5 tbsp chia seeds
2 cups chopped strawberries
Preheat oven to 250 degrees and preheat a waffle iron to medium setting. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl beat eggs with a whisk until light and fluffy. Add in yogurt, milk, oil, applesauce, vanilla and cane sugar and whisk until combined. With a wooden spoon mix in flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and chia and mix until no lumps appear. Do not over mix. Fold in strawberries.
Spray waffle iron with non stick spray on top and bottom. With a ladle or ice cream scoop place a scoop in the middle of the pan and follow instructions on waffle iron to cook to completion. Mine will beep when the waffle is ready. Place waffle on baking sheet and keep warm in the oven.
Continue to spray waffle iron and repeat until all waffles have been made. Serve with fresh fruit and a drizzle of maple syrup.
