Dutch Oven Camp Breakfast Meals
Whole Wheat Belgian Waffles
Level Two: Really light and wonderful
4 eggs, separated, or
1 cup Eggbeater Egg whites
1/2 tsp. vanilla
3 Tbs. melted butter or margarine |
1 cup skim milk or Calorie Countdown Milk
1 cup King Arthur white whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1-2 Tbs. Fibersure (gradually add more) |
Preheat 7 white hot charcoals in the firepan. Place cast iron cooking trivet over the coals. Preheat your belgain waffle iron over the charcoals. Follow the regular recipe for making waffles described below.
Set egg whites on the counter and allow them to reach room temperature, about 30 minutes. Beat egg whites until very light. Add vanilla and butter. In a separate bowl, combine flour, Fibersure and salt; and milk. Beat well. Beat egg whites until stiff and fold into batter. Spray Belgian waffle maker with butter flavored Pam. Preheat waffle iron three minutes on one side and turn over to preheat other side. Pour 1/2 cup batter into each square and bake on the stovetop. Turn waffle iron several times during cooking to assure even browning. Continue to cook until all trace of steam is gone. Gently open waffle iron, set waffle on a cooking rack. Use sugar free syrup and fresh berries to top.
These delicious high fiber waffles freeze well so I often make a double batch. A couple waffle squares popped into a toaster and serve with sugar free syrup are a wonderful treat. Serving size is two squares of a full double waffle. A double batch makes five full size waffles,
or about 10 servings.

2 cups water
2 cups Granular Splenda

Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Use a stick blender to mix ingredients into a syrup. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow syrup to thicken.
