Dairy and Wheat Free Apple-Cinnamon Spelt Waffles

2 eggs, separated

1 ¾ cups whole spelt flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 ¾ cups soy milk

1 apple - cored, peeled, and shredded

½ cup vegetable oil

Preheat and grease a waffle iron according to manufacturer s instructions.

Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until foamy and stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form sharp peaks.

Mix spelt flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon together in a bowl. Whisk egg yolks, soy milk, apple, and vegetable oil together in a separate bowl; pour into flour mixture. Stir to combine. Fold egg whites into batter, leaving some clumps.

Pour about 1 cup batter into waffle iron; cook until golden brown and crispy, 5 to 10 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
