Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 egg whites
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon white sugar
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 1 cup cornmeal
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup canola oil

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl using an electric mixer on high until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form sharp peaks.

Step 2

Whisk flour, cornmeal, chia seeds, baking powder, baking soda, white sugar, and salt together in a bowl. Whisk buttermilk, canola oil, and egg yolks together in a separate bowl; stir into flour mixture until batter is smooth. Gently fold egg whites into batter until just mixed.

Step 3

Preheat waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.

Step 4

Pour about 1/4 cup batter into preheated waffle iron; cook according to manufacturer's instructions until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
