Ingredients

Maple Yogurt:

Method

In large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside.
Beat egg whites until soft peaks form; set aside.

In separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks, yogurt, 3/4 cup water and butter; pour over dry ingredients, stirring to combine. Fold in egg whites just until combined.

Heat waffle iron; brush lightly with some of the oil. Pour in about 1/3 cup batter for each waffle, spreading to edge. Close lid and cook until steam stops and waffles are crisp and golden, about 6 minutes.

Maple Yogurt: In bowl, stir together yogurt, vanilla and maple syrup. Serve on waffles with berries.
