✅ ingredients

For these scrumptious waffles, you will need:

Dry Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat for a healthier alternative)

2 tbsp sugar (coconut sugar works, but use real sugar)

1 tbsp baking powder (to help the waffles rise and stay fluffy)

½ tsp sea salt (cut the sweet)

Wet Ingredients:

1 ¾ cups non-dairy milk (soy, almond, oat or coconut)

¼ cup of oil (coconut, vegetable, or melted vegan butter)

1 tbsp apple cider vinegar immediately reacts with baking powder for lightness

1 tsp vanilla extract (for extra flavor)

That’s it! These ingredients are likely already in your kitchen.

✅ Step-by-Step Instructions

You won’t believe how easy it is to make these waffles. Just follow these steps:

Step 1 : To make a waffle, follow these steps.

Preheat the waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If oil is needed (some waffle makers do), lightly grease your device.

Step 2: Combine the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. This helps spread the ingredients evenly.

Step 3: Combine the Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, mix the non-dairy milk, oil, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla. Stir well.

Step 4: Add In Wet And Dry Ingredients

Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Don’t overmix! The batter will be a bit lumpy.

Step 5: Cook the Waffles

Spread the batter in the hot waffle-maker.

Close the lid and cook until golden brown and crispy. This usually takes 4-5 minutes depending on your waffle maker.

Gently remove the waffle and repeat with remaining batter.

Serve with maple syrup topped with fresh fruits, nuts, or vegan whipped cream. Enjoy them warm!

✅ Vegan Waffle Making Tips

Here are a few pro tips to uplevel your waffles even more:

✔ Let the batter rest 5 minutes — This allows the baking powder to work, resulting in fluffier waffles.

✔ Don’t mix the batter too much – It’s okay if it has lumps! Mixing too much can lead to dense waffles.

✔ Preheat the waffle maker – A hot waffle maker is a must for crispy waffles.

✔ If necessary, grease your waffle maker – Some waffle makers are non-stick but it doesn't hurt to add a bit of oil to prevent sticking.

✔ Hold waffles warm in the oven – Put cooked waffles in an oven set for 200°F (90°C) while preparing the rest.

✔ Freezer friendly – Cook the waffles and cool them completely, then freeze in an airtight bag. Toast them when ready to eat!

✅ Health Benefits

These waffles aren’t only yummy—they’re better for you!

✔ No Cholesterol & Heart-Friendly — As no eggs or dairy are used, these waffles are cholesterol free!

✔ Less Saturated Fat – We use plants, which leads to less bad fat.

✔ High Fiber – If you are using whole wheat flour, you are getting more fiber in the digestion.

✔ Flexible for More Nutritional Value — Add chia seeds, flaxseeds or nuts.

Healthy and tasty? That’s a win-win!

✅ Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make the waffles gluten-free?

Yes! Use a blend of gluten-free all-purpose flour. You might have to add a tad bit more liquid for the desired consistency.

What can I substitute for oil?

In need of an oil free version, feel free to sub the oil for something such as applesauce or mashed banana. The texture might be ever so slightly different but equally delicious!

Can you make these waffles sugar free?

Yes! You can leave out the sugar, or sweeten with a healthy alternative like maple syrup or stevia.

What’s the best way to save leftover waffles?

Allow the waffles to cool completely and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To store them longer, freeze them and reheat them in a toaster or in the oven.

Why are my waffles not crisp?

Ensure that your waffle maker is preheated properly before cooking. And don’t layer hot waffles on top of each other, either, or they’ll get soggy. Put them on a cooling rack instead.”
