Instructions

• Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour, 1/2 cup almond meal, 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
• In a large bowl, beat together 1 cup low-fat milk (1%), 2 large eggs, 1 tablespoon canola oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until blended.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; do not overmix (the batter may be slightly lumpy).
• Lightly brush or spray the preheated waffle iron with a little canola oil.
• For each waffle, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the center of the waffle iron, close the lid, and cook until the waffle is cooked through and crisp, about 1–2 minutes or according to your waffle iron's instructions.
• Remove the waffle carefully, repeat with remaining batter, and serve the waffles immediately.
