Servings
4 waffles
Ingredients
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup Cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons Baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 1/2 cups Non-dairy milk (such as soy or oat)
  • 1/4 cup Melted vegan butter
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • Berry Compote
  • 2 cups Mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon juice

Prepare the Berry Compote

In a saucepan, combine the mixed berries, maple syrup, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries have softened and released their juices, about 8-10 minutes. Mash some of the berries with a fork to create a thicker compote.

Combine Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, sugar, and salt. The cornstarch helps to create extra crispy waffles.

Add Wet Ingredients

Add the non-dairy milk, melted vegan butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.

Cook the Waffles

Preheat your waffle iron. Lightly grease the waffle iron. Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron. Cook until the waffles are golden brown and crispy, according to your waffle iron's instructions.

Serve and Enjoy

Serve the crispy vegan waffles immediately topped with the warm berry compote. Garnish with extra fresh berries, if desired. Enjoy!
