Recipe by The Gourmet RD

Oh heyyyy! Wanna have waffles together?  It could be a dinner date, or we could save the waffles for tomorrow's breakfast, if you wish.  Honestly, I just want you to be able to enjoy these

Ingredients

• 1¼ cups pancake mix
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp oil
• ⅔ cup low fat milk
• 2 medium lemons (zest and juice)
• 4 large egg whites
• 1 tbsp granulated sugar
• ½ cup fresh blackberries
• 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
• powdered sugar

Method

1. Heat waffle maker to medium high. Coat with cooking spray.
   
   In a large bowl, whisk together pancake mix, vanilla extract, oil, milk and lemon zest and juice until combined. Set aside.
   
   In a large bowl, whisk egg whites using a hand mixer until peaks form, adding the sugar once egg whites are foamy. Slowly fold egg white mixture into pancake batter until combined.
   
   Scoop about 1 cup pancake batter into the hot waffle maker. Cook 4-6 minutes, until browned. Remove waffle maker, coat with cooking spray, and repeat process with remaining batter.
   
   In the meantime, mash blackberries with the back of a fork. Stir in pure maple syrup.
   
   Pour blackberry syrup over waffles and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
