Easy Vegan Waffles (1 Bowl)
These Easy Vegan Waffles use a single bowl for effortless mixing, combining a blend of flours with almond milk, oil, and vanilla to create a tender and fluffy waffle. The batter rests before cooking, allowing flavors to meld and a balanced texture to develop. You can customize by adding chocolate chips or blueberries or create cinnamon swirl waffles by layering batter with a cinnamon sugar mix. This recipe offers flexibility in texture by adjusting the batter thickness and cooking time to suit your preference.
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.
