I topped this fat free waffle with honey & sliced strawberries - delicious !It doesn’t matter which diet you follow – be it low calorie, low fat, low carb, counting points, counting food groups, portion control, food combining, eliminating food groups, a liquid diet or drinking soup all day long – the bottom line when it comes to diet, is that you have to eat less energy than your body uses (and/or burn even more energy off by exercising).
Every single diet under the sun, at the end of the day, all comes down to the number of calories a person eats (calories in, and calories out) – if you eat more than your body needs, you’ll gain weight. If you eat less than your body needs, you’ll lose weight. Sounds simple but we all know that it is easier said than done !
So, if you are watching your weight – and whichever diet you are following – I hope that these delicious Fat Free waffles will make that process a little more enjoyable for you !
This is a recipe I came up with a while ago, trying to keep it as low fat/calorie/sugar as I could. I make batches of them and freeze them in portions of 2, and they are great popped into the toaster and then served with a topping of your choice – honey, syrup, fresh fruit or sugar free jam (if you’re being very good that is !)

Fat Free Waffles
2 cups Flour
4 tsp Baking Powder
½ tsp Salt
1 tbsp Sugar
1 tbsp Apple Sauce
1 cup Skim (Fat Free) Milk
1 cup Water
2 tsp Vanilla Essence
4 Egg whites, stiffly beaten
Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar together. Add the Apple Sauce, milk, water and vanilla essence. Beat well. Fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites and mix to blend. Lightly spray a waffle iron with non-stick spray and pour some of the batter into the iron, cook until golden on both sides.
Makes around 14 waffles (depending on the size of your waffle iron). Each waffle contains around 84 calories. These waffles freeze well.
