Ingredients
Scale:
2 cups All-purpose flour
1 tablespoon Baking powder
½ teaspoon Baking soda
½ teaspoon Salt
2 tablespoons Sugar
2 large Eggs, separated
1 ¾ cups Milk
½ cup Unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
2 cups Fresh peaches, diced
Maple syrup for serving
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
In another bowl, beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks.
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the waffle batter using a spatula. This will help to create that light and fluffy texture.
Carefully fold in the diced peaches, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray or melted butter, then pour the recommended amount of batter (usually about ½ to ¾ cup) into the center.
Close the waffle iron and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through. Check for doneness before removing.
Transfer the waffles to a plate and cover them loosely with foil to keep them warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve warm with maple syrup and additional fresh peach slices on top.
