In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
In a medium bowl, beat the egg whites with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
In another bowl, mix together the milk, ½ cup oil, egg yolks and vanilla extract. Add the milk mixture to flour mixture, stirring until just combined. Gently fold in egg whites.
Add Nutella and 2 tablespoon oil to a small bowl and microwave for 30 seconds or until it is thinned out.
Preheat oven to 200°F. Heat waffle iron according to instructions. Spray with cooking spray and add about ½ cup of the batter and then swirl in some of the Nutella. Cook for 5 minutes, remove from waffle iron and place in oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter.

Waffle Maker: Using a good waffle maker is half the battle. You will want a cast iron on non-stick model. If it has a done indicator, even better.
Fat Ratio: Waffle batter should be a similar consistency to pancakes, but the difference is waffles have more fat, whether it’s melted butter or oil.
Baking Powder: Baking powder gives the waffle a better rise than baking soda, but you can use baking soda in a pinch.
Don’t Overmix: It is ok for the batter for these waffles to be lumpy. It is better to have some lumps than overmix.
Sacrifice First Waffle: The first waffle should be used to figure out how much batter you need and the level of doneness you want.
Add Nutella at End: Wait until you add the batter to the waffle maker before swirling in some Nutella. If you swirl beforehand, everything will just mix together.
Don’t Peek: Let the waffle iron do its work and don’t continue to open it. Rely on the indicator if it has one and if it doesn’t, look for steam coming out of the side which indicates that it is done.
