Ingredients
- Waffles
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup whole-wheat flour
- 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup skim milk
- 1 1/2 tsp canola oil
- 1 large egg, beaten
- Strawberry Syrup
- 1 1/2 cups chopped strawberries
- 1/4 cup light maple syrup
- Large pinch of ground cinnamon
Preparation
Step 1
1. To make the waffles: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, pecans, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, oil, and egg until combined. Using a rubber spatula, fold the milk mixture into the flour mixture until just combined.
3. Preheat a waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions and spray it with cooking spray. Spoon about 1/4 cup batter into the hot waffle iron, spreading the batter to the edges. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the steaming stops. Repeat with the remaining batter. Keep warm in a 200F oven.
4. Meanwhile, to make the syrup: In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries, maple syrup, and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat until the strawberries are just beginning to break down and the syrup is heated through, about 5 minutes. Serve warm over the waffles.
