CALIFORNIA APRICOT PECAN WAFFLES

Serves:  8
 

INGREDIENTS

• 1 can (15¼ oz.) California apricot halves
• 1 cup low-fat vanilla yogurt
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 1 large egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans

DIRECTIONS

Heat waffle iron.  Drain and dice apricots; reserve 1/2 cup syrup, set both aside. Combine yogurt and reserved syrup; set aside for topping.

Combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder and 1 tablespoon sugar; set aside.

Whisk together buttermilk, egg yolk, vanilla, and oil. Stir into dry ingredients until just moistened.  Fold in apricots and pecans.

Beat egg whites until soft peaks form; add remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and continue beating until firm peaks form and egg whites are shiny.  Stir 1/4 of egg whites into waffle batter. Fold in remaining egg whites.  Measure 2/3 cup batter for each waffle.

Cook about 4 minutes. Serve with reserved yogurt topping.
