Ingredients
Instructions
- Beat egg whites until fluffy and set aside.
- Preheat waffle iron and spray with oil before each waffle.
- Sift together all dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Combine beaten eggs, milk, and egg substitute; then add to dry ingredients and mix just until combined.
- Gently fold in beaten egg whites to make the batter fluffy; note that the batter is thin.
- Pour batter into the preheated waffle iron and cook until golden and crisp.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding vanilla extract or cinnamon to the batter. If you don't have egg substitute, you can use an additional whole egg instead. To achieve crispier waffles, ensure your waffle iron is properly preheated and only open it once the cooking time is complete. For a unique twist, try serving with a dollop of maple syrup or alongside a slice of Maple Pumpkin Pie.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these waffles hot with a drizzle of syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruit on top. They also pair well with crispy bacon or sausages for a hearty breakfast. For a sweet treat, try serving alongside Five Layer Pudding for a delightful brunch spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a toaster or an oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes until they are heated through and crispy again. Avoid microwaving as it can make the waffles soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour, but the texture may be denser. For lighter waffles, consider using half whole wheat and half all-purpose flour to maintain a good balance.
What can I do if my batter is too thick?
If your batter turns out too thick, you can add a little more milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency. Keep in mind that the batter should be thin to achieve fluffy waffles.
Can I freeze leftover waffles?
Absolutely! To freeze, place cooled waffles in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag once frozen. They can be kept for up to 2 months. Reheat directly from frozen in a toaster or oven.
