Fluffy protein waffles with Berry Maple Compote

Servings: 1 waffle

INGREDIENTS

• 1/4 cup buckwheat flour (or while whole wheat flour)
• 1/4 cup liquid egg whites
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
• 1/8 tsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp brown sugar

FOR SYRUP

• 1/4 cup frozen mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
• 1.5 tsp pure maple syrup
• 1/2 tsp water
• sliced almonds (optional)

METHOD

1. Preheat classic waffle maker. (Note: if using a Belgian waffle maker, the waffles will be flat and not as fluffy).
2. In a medium bowl combine flour, baking powder, vanilla, milk, vinegar and brown sugar.
3. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until frothy.
4. Gently fold egg whites into flour mixture. *This step is essential to fluffy waffles so be careful not to over mix.*
5. Let batter sit for 2-3 minutes.
6. Lightly grease waffle maker with cooking spray and add batter. Cook for 3-4 minutes.
7. Meanwhile, combine berries and maple syrup in a small bowl. Microwave for 30-45 seconds until fruit softens.
8. Transfer to a small saucepan over medium heat. Boil, stirring continuously, until liquid is reduced by half.
9. Pour syrup over waffle, top with almonds if using, and serve warm.
