Easy Vegan Waffles (1 Bowl)
Description
Easy Vegan Waffles (1 Bowl) bring together a mix of all-purpose flour, wheat pastry flour, tapioca starch, and almond flour to form a dry waffle mix that provides structure and lightness. Combined with non-dairy milk, neutral oil, and natural sweeteners, the batter is simple yet versatile. After mixing, letting the batter rest helps hydrate the flours and achieve better consistency. Cooking the waffles in a preheated waffle maker yields a golden exterior that crisps slightly upon cooling, contrasting with a soft and fluffy interior. Optional cinnamon swirl addition offers a touch of warming spice. Serving with maple syrup or your favorite toppings finishes the dish for breakfast or brunch.
Adjusting batter thickness can modify waffle crispness: thinner batter and smaller portions yield crisper results. The recipe allows substitution of milk types and sugars to fit dietary preferences.
The batter benefits from resting at least 15 minutes before cooking, and you can store cooked waffles briefly in a low oven to keep warm before serving.
Ingredients
Waffles:
- 1 1/4 cup 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 almond milk non-dairy milk, such as soy or light coconut milk
- 1 tbsp neutral cooking oil plus more for cooking if needed, generic cooking oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- almond extract or 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon, a few drops
Dry Waffle Mix:
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour unbleached
- 1/3 cup wheat pastry flour or use more all purpose
- 1 tbsp tapioca starch or cornstarch
- 2 tbsp almond flour or use 1 tbsp rice flour for nut-free
- 1 tsp flax seed meal ,optional
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk the flours under waffle mix. Add baking powder, salt, sugar and mix well.
- 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)
- 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)
- 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)
- 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
- Allow the batter to rest at least 15 minutes to optimize texture.
- Adjust batter consistency with additional non-dairy milk if too thick, or a tablespoon of flour if too thin.
- For crisper waffles, use thinner batter portions and longer cooking times.
- Adding a cinnamon sugar swirl involves layering cinnamon-mixed sugar between smaller dollops of batter on the iron.
- Non-dairy milks such as soy or light coconut milk can be substituted for almond milk.
- Using buttermilk substitute: add 1.5 tsp vinegar to non-dairy milk and let sit 5 minutes before use.
