Preheat a waffle iron. Beat the butter, juice concentrate, egg, egg whites, and skim milk together in a bowl. Combine the dry ingredients in another bowl, stirring to blend thoroughly. Add them to the egg mixture and stir just until blended. Fold in the vanilla.

Pour batter in batches onto a hot waffle iron and bake until nicely browned. Serve immediately with any of the toppings.
