Easy Vegan Waffles

    Easy Vegan Waffles! Crispy, Delicious, waffles for Everyday Breakfast. 1 Bowl, Freezer friendly. Serve with fruits and  favorite toppings. Vegan Waffle Recipe.

   Sometimes you just need some good waffles to start the day! Simple everyday waffles that you can dress as you like. These easy waffles are a breeze to put together. They can also be adjusted to preferred crispyness and texture. I make a mix of flours and use that in the waffle recipe. You can play around with other flours of choice too.

  A direct completely gluten-free substitution doesn’t work in the recipe, I’ll have a gluten-free version posted separately with a gf blend and the process that makes crispy non dry non crumbly waffles. In this recipe, you can replace a quarter of the flour with an alternate flour(with or without gluten flour)

Ingredients:

Waffles:

• 1 1/4 cup (156.25 g) of my waffle mix (below) or all purpose flour + 2 tsp starch
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 3 tbsp sugar , fine cane sugar or coconut sugar or light brown
• 1 1/4 cup (295.74 ml) non-dairy milk such as almond or soy or light coconut milk
• 1 tbsp oil , plus more for cooking if needed
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• a few drops almond extract or 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

Dry Waffle Mix:

• 3/4 cup (93.75 g) unbleached all purpose flour
• 1/3 cup (40 g) wheat pastry flour or use more all purpose
• 1 tbsp starch such as tapioca or cornstarch
• 2 tbsp almond flour or use 1 tbsp rice flour for nut-free
• 1 tsp flax seed meal ,optional

Instructions:

1.In a large bowl, whisk the flours under waffle mix. Add baking powder, salt, sugar and mix well.

2.Add the oil and 1 cup + 2 tbsp non dairy milk and whisk well. Depending on the flours and non dairy milk used, you will need 1-2 tbsp more milk for a smooth batter. (You can add in chocolate chips or small blueberries in the batter at this time for variation)

3.Let the batter sit for atleast 15 mins. (You can adjust the batter at this time if too thick, with additional non dairy milk, or a tbsp of flour if too thin)

4.Heat your waffle maker. When hot, brush or spray oil if needed. Add the batter depending on the size of your waffle iron. (Add a smaller portion of the batter, sprinkle some cinnamon sugar mix and add another tbsp or so batter on top for cinnamon swirl waffles)

5.Cook until golden. The waffles will crisp more on cooling for a min or so. Remove the waffle and serve immediately or store in a warm oven (225 deg F) until ready to use. Serve with a drizzle of maple syrup, some vegan butter, fruits and other toppings and sides or choice.

Store: 

• Freeze the waffles once fully cooled in an airtight container. That for a few mins, then reheat in a toaster and serve.

Notes:

1.Depending on your preference of the waffle texture, you will need to play around with the batter amount and cook time.

2.For extra crispy waffles, thin the batter a bit with additional tbsp of non dairy milk, add less of the batter to the waffle maker so it does not make very thick waffles and cook for longer time.

Optional Cinnamon swirl: 

• 1/2 tsp cinnamon mixed in 1.5 tbsp coconut sugar
• For Buttermilk waffles: add 1.5 tsp vinegar into the non dairy milk and let sit for 5 mins to curdle, then whisk and use.
