Waffles and Berry Love

We recently moved back to the Rocky Mountains where I grew up. I was so excited for the berry season. I started craving fresh raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, and cherries, when they are in peak season. As a young girl, I spent summers picking berries for extra money. I would say a mantra as I worked, “one for my mouth”  -  “one for the bucket!”

Freshly picked berries go great with waffles. Our family love waffles any time - breakfast, lunch or dinner! Topped with fresh berries and a bit of Reddi-wip, they please even the pickiest of eaters. At only 15 calories per serving of Reddi-wip, together with the goodness of berries (nature’s food), you have an attractive and appetizing low-calorie meal.

So, I wanted to share my waffle recipe with you, so you can also make some hot steamy waffles, place your favorite berry or berries on top, and add a delicious dollop of Reddi-wip.

Fluffy Waffles





 Waffle Ingredients:

2 cups flour (all purpose)
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tsp. baking power
1/2 tsp. salt
3 eggs, separated
2 cups milk
1/4 cup canola or vegetable oil








Directions:

Preheat waffle iron.
Separate the eggs. Combine the egg yolks with the milk and oil.
In a bowl, combine the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder and salt)
Stir egg, milk and oil mixture  into the dry ingredients just until moistened.
In a smaller mixing bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Fold egg whites into the batter.
Spray the waffle iron with cooking spray.
Using a 1/4 cup measure, fill it with the batter and drop onto heated waffle iron. It takes approximately 1 minute for it to cook through, but each waffle iron is different, so do a trial run.

Cover warm waffle with cold berries of your choice and top it off with Reddi-wip. Enjoy!!
