Ingredients
- 4 1/2 cups quartered strawberries
- 9 tablespoons sugar, divided
- 1/2 cup plain fat-free Greek yogurt
- 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract, divided
- 4.5 ounces buckwheat flour (about 1 cup)
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups nonfat buttermilk
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 2 large egg yolks
- 3 large egg whites
- Cooking spray
- 2 tablespoons sliced almonds, lightly toasted
Instructions
- Combine strawberries and 2 tablespoons sugar, tossing well. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.
- Place yogurt, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla in a small bowl, stirring well; chill until ready to serve.
- Weigh or lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Combine remaining 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, buttermilk, and next 3 ingredients (through yolks) in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add buttermilk mixture to flour mixture; stir well.
- Preheat a Belgian waffle iron.
- Place egg whites in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at high speed until foamy. Gradually add remaining 6 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form. Gently fold about one-fourth of egg white mixture into batter. Fold in remaining egg white mixture. Coat waffle iron with cooking spray. Spoon about 1/2 cup batter over each waffle plate, spreading to edges. Cook 4 minutes or until lightly browned and done; remove waffles from iron. Repeat procedure with cooking spray and remaining batter. Top waffles with strawberry mixture, yogurt mixture, and almonds.
