Calories 340

Waffles
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. sugar
1/4 cup unsalted pecans, chopped
2 large eggs, separated
1 1/2 cups fat-free (skim) milk

• Preheat waffle iron.
• Combine flour, oats, baking powder, sugar, and pecans in a large bowl.
• Combine egg yolks, milk, and vegetable oil in a separate bowl, and mix well.
• Add liquid mixture to the dry ingredients, and stir together. Do not overmix; mixture should be a bit lumpy.
• Whip egg whites to medium peaks. Gently fold egg whites into batter.
• Pour batter into preheated waffle iron, and cook until the waffle iron light signals it’s done or steam stops coming out of the iron. A waffle is perfect when it is crisp and well-browned on the outside with a moist, light, airy and fluffy inside. (Or make pancakes.)
• Add fresh fruit and a light dusting of powdered sugar to each waffle, and serve.

Tip: For pancakes, do not separate eggs. Mix whole eggs with milk and oil, and eliminate steps 4 and 5.
