Apple Cinnamon Waffles
Description
This recipe uses a combination of whole wheat or all-purpose flour, sugars, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to form a spiced dry mix. Wet ingredients include plant-based milk, vegetable oil, vanilla, grated apple, and a flaxseed-water mixture that acts as a vegan egg substitute, adding thickness and binding properties.
The waffle batter is gently mixed to avoid toughness and then cooked in a preheated waffle iron yielding waffles with a gentle crispness on the outside and soft interior dotted with apple bits. The cinnamon and apple give subtle aromatics, enhancing the flavor profile without overpowering.
These waffles can be prepared in advance, and leftovers stored in the refrigerator or frozen with proper cooling and packing methods. Freezing involves flash freezing on a baking sheet to prevent sticking, allowing convenient reheating later. This makes them suitable for batch preparation and easy breakfasts over several days.
Ingredients
- 2 ½ tablespoons water warm
- 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
- 1 ¾ cups plant-based milk vanilla flavor, plain or chocolate will work
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 1 apple Honeycrisp variety, cored, grated or finely diced, moisture pressed out with a napkin
- 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour whole wheat flour will work
- 1 ½ tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Turn on your waffle iron.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the warm water and ground flax seeds until thoroughly combined. Set aside for 10 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk, vegetable oil, grated apple, and vanilla extract. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, both sugars, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the milk mixture and flax mixture. Whisk gently, just until combined. Make sure to not overmix.
- Scoop the desired amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron. Follow your waffle iron instructions to cook. Repeat with the remaining batter until all the waffles are cooked.
Notes
- Make waffles in batches and store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- For longer storage, freeze waffles after flash freezing on a baking sheet, then place in freezer bags with parchment paper between waffles.
- Frozen waffles can be kept for 1-2 months.
