2 cups sprouted whole wheat flour can use regular or freshly milled - freshly milled may need 1/4 cup extra
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt

2 large eggs SEPARATED
1 1/3 cups low fat buttermilk
1/3 cup club soda
3 tablespoons melted butter
2 tablespoons maple syrup can use favorite sweetener in place, add 2 extra tablespoons of club soda if omitting maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Combine dry ingredients: Mix the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl.
Mix wet ingredients: Whisk the egg YOLKS, buttermilk, club soda, butter, maple syrup and vanilla extract in a large measuring jug until smooth.
Beat egg whites: Beat the egg WHITES in a clean bowl with electric beaters until stiff peaks form.
Combine batter: Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir just to combine (4-5 stirs should be enough!). Add the beaten egg whites and carefully fold in just until incorporated. Do NOT overmix. Batter will be thick. If it's too thick, add a few extra tablespoons club soda.
Bake waffles: Cook the waffles according to your waffle iron's instructions. I scoop the batter with a cookie scoop to make less of a mess.
Serve: Serve the waffles hot right out of the waffle iron - that's when they're the crispiest!
