1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg (freshly ground if possible)

I love nutmeg. It reminds me of my two favorite things: Christmas and donuts (not necessarily in that order). Nutmeg is a very strong spice. Even though the directions call for just a 1/2 teaspoon, the flavor of nutmeg permeates each bite. When the holidays roll around, consider adding 1/2 teaspoon of ground cloves. Your kitchen will smell like a Christmas air freshener as the waffles bake. I did make one adjustment (not reflected above) to the recipe as submitted. I found that adding 2 Tablespoons of sugar helped the overall flavor. (This recipe was submitted in 2009. It was tested and photographed in September 2014.)
How To Make Low Fat Nutmeg Waffles
In a small bowl, combine flour, baking power, soda, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. In another bowl, combine milk, egg, oil and vanilla; stir into the dry ingredients until well combined.
Bake in a preheated waffle iron according to the manufacturers directions. (Most recommend NOT using cooking spray if it's already non-stick, however I use cooking spray for this recipe because there's so little oil in the batter.) Cook until golden brown and lid lifts easily.
Serve with butter and maple syrup.
2 waffles (without butter & syrup) have 198 calories and 3 grams of fat (1 g saturated.) You can reduce the fat by using egg whites or egg substitute if you desire.
Mr Breakfast would like to thank HollyMartel for this recipe.
