Step 4: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Step 5: In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Step 6: Gently fold the egg whites into the batter to keep it light and airy.
Step 7: Lightly grease the waffle iron and pour in enough batter to cover the surface.
Step 8: Cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
Step 9: Carefully remove and serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Allow waffles to cool completely before storing. Place them in an airtight container or freezer bag and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. To reheat, toast in a toaster or warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through and crispy. Avoid microwaving, as it can make them soggy.
