Tips for great healthy waffles:

  • The oil in the batter will prevent the waffle from sticking, so don’t use non-stick cooking spray or butter.
  • To serve the whole family at once, heat your oven to 250 degrees and store waffles there until you’re done cooking.
  • Beat egg whites separately for fluffier interiors.
