How to Make Healthy Low Fat Whole Wheat Apple Spice Waffles

In a small saucepan, combine 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed and 3 tablespoons water. Whisk to remove lumps and simmer until thickened and gelatinous (about 5-7 minutes).
Refrigerate the flaxseed mixture while preparing the other ingredients.
In a medium bowl, whip 1 large egg white until soft peaks form.
In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup whole wheat flour, ½ cup cornmeal, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ½ teaspoon nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon cloves, ¼ teaspoon salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup plain yogurt, ⅓ cup packed brown sugar, the cooled flaxseed mixture, ½ cup water, and ½ cup applesauce. Grate 1 medium apple (about 1 cup) and add it to the wet ingredients.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Carefully fold in the whipped egg whites.
Lightly grease your waffle iron. Pour ¼ cup batter onto the hot waffle iron. Cook according to manufacturer's instructions, until golden brown and crispy.
Serve immediately or cool completely on a wire rack, wrap in foil, and freeze. To reheat, microwave until thawed, then toast for extra crispiness!
