A restaurant waffle with syrup and whipped cream (yes!) can have 530 calories and 11 grams saturated fat (no way!). We serve up the goodies but hold the extra calories.

Yield Makes 3 waffles

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg, separated
3/4 cup skim milk
1/4 cup mashed banana
1 tablespoon canola oil
Vegetable oil cooking spray
3/4 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt, divided
1 1/2 cups sliced strawberries, divided
3 tablespoons sliced almonds, divided
6 teaspoons maple syrup, divided

Steps:

  • Heat waffle iron. In a blender, process oats until flourlike in texture. In a bowl, combine oats with flour, flaxseed, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice and salt. In a second bowl, beat egg white until stiff peaks form. In a third bowl, mix milk, banana, oil and egg yolk. Gently stir milk-banana mixture into dry ingredients; gently fold in egg white until just combined. Coat waffle iron with cooking spray; pour 1/3 cup batter onto iron, and cook until waffle is crispy and pale gold, about 4 minutes. Repeat twice. Top each waffle with 1/4 cup yogurt, 1/2 cup strawberries, 1 tablespoon almonds and 2 teaspoon syrup.
