large, Belgian-style waffle or two regular waffles and 1/4 cup (60 mL) toppingThese waffles are the ultimate satisfaction, golden brown and full of flavor. Served with a tasty strawberry-rhubarb sauce, they really hit the spot but in a much better-for-you way thanks to the use of canola oil, whole-grain flour and just a touch of maple syrup.
Ingredients
- Topping
1/2 cup 125 ml fresh rhubarb, cut into ½-inch -(1 cm-) pieces
1 tbsp. 15 ml orange juice
3 tbsp. 45 ml maple syrup
1½ cup 375 strawberries, quartered
- Waffles
3/4 cup 175 ml all-purpose flour
3/4 cup 175 ml whole-wheat pastry flour or regular whole-wheat flour
2 tbsp. 30 ml toasted wheat germ
1 1/4 tsp 2 ml baking powder
1/2 tsp 2 ml baking soda
1/4 tsp 1 ml salt
1/2 cup 125 ml nonfat plain yogurt
1 cup 250 ml nonfat milk
1 tbsp. 30 ml canola oil
1 tbsp. 15 ml maple syrup
1 1 large egg
1/2 tsp 2 ml vanilla extract
Canola oil cooking spray
Confectioner's sugar for garnish (optional)
Directions
- To make topping: In saucepan, combine rhubarb, orange juice and maple syrup. Bring to boil, reduce heat to medium and simmer for five minutes until rhubarb has softened and starts to break down. Add strawberries. Return to boil and then reduce heat slightly and cook, stirring occasionally, until strawberries have softened and liquid is thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- To make waffles: Preheat waffle iron to medium-high heat. In large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, wheat germ, baking powder, baking soda and salt to combine. In another large bowl, whisk together yogurt, milk, canola oil, maple syrup, egg and vanilla. Stir wet ingredients into dry ones, mixing only enough to combine.
- Spray waffle iron with canola oil cooking spray and ladle batter onto waffle iron according to manufacturer's directions. Close waffle maker and cook batter until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter. Dust with confectioner's sugar, if using. Serve with strawberry topping.
