Ingredients
  • 1 3/4 cups All-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 2 tbsp Granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups Plant-based milk (almond, soy, or oat)
  • 1/4 cup Vegan butter, melted
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract

Mixing the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar. Make sure everything is evenly distributed for consistent results.

Combining Wet and Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, combine the plant-based milk, melted vegan butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.

Creating the Waffle Batter

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay. Overmixing can lead to tough waffles.

Cooking the Waffles

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or oil. Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron, using the amount recommended by your waffle iron's instructions. Cook until the waffles are golden brown and crispy, usually about 3-5 minutes per waffle.

Serving and Enjoying

Carefully remove the waffles from the waffle iron and serve immediately. Top with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, berries, vegan whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar. Enjoy!

FAQ

  • Can I use a different flour?

    Yes, you can substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free all-purpose blend for gluten-free waffles. Just be sure the blend contains xanthan gum.
  • Can I add spices to the batter?

    Absolutely! Cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom would be delicious additions. Start with about 1/2 teaspoon and adjust to your taste.
  • How do I keep the waffles warm while I cook the rest?

    Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C). Place the cooked waffles on a wire rack set over a baking sheet in the oven to keep them warm and crispy until serving.
