This is not a particularly low-fat recipe, but a healthier alternative.
1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
1 1/2 cups (12 oz.) diet ginger ale
2 eggs, separated
1 tsp vanilla
1 packet Splenda or Stevia (optional)
2 Tbs light margarine, melted
1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (I like darker chocolate with this recipe, so I cut up about 10 Hershey's sugar-free special dark chocolate pieces)
Sift together dry ingredients. Mix together pumpkin, ginger ale, egg yolks, and vanilla. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites and Splenda, until soft peaks form. Set aside. Into pumpkin mixture, add dry ingredients and margarine, alternately. Stir in chocolate and fold in egg whites. Scoop 1 cup of batter onto a heated waffle iron. Dough will be a little thick, so with a heat-proof spatula, spread to the edges. Cook as usual. Serve with light margarine and sugar-free syrup.
Makes 16 waffle squares. Yields 4 servings.
