Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 large eggs separated
½ cup vegetable oil or canola oil
½ cup whole milk
¾ cup ricotta cheese
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup fresh blueberries frozen blueberries can also be used

Instructions

Preheat the waffle maker and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, about 3 to 4 minutes.
In another medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, vegetable oil, milk, ricotta and vanilla extract.
Add the egg yolk mixture to the flour mixture and stir just until combined. A few lumps should still remain.
Gently fold in the egg whites being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
Finally, fold the blueberries into the batter.
Add the batter to the waffle maker (how much will be dependent on the size of waffle maker you have) and cook until golden brown. Make sure to not add too much batter or it will squish out the sides while it cooks.
Enjoy immediately with butter and maple syrup.
