Healthy, Low Fat Lemon Waffles (Whole Wheat!)

This recipe is truly Lemon Meringue Waffles, I just wanted to post this as I made some healthy changes and it is easier for me to remember them if i have it as a separate recipe :) These waffles are to die for. Not only are they made good for you, I have boosted the bright lemon flavour, and despite the changes they are still tall and light. Enjoy!
