Vegan Waffles
Description
The Vegan Waffles recipe uses ground flax seeds soaked in warm water as an egg substitute, combined with vanilla plant-based milk and vegetable oil for moisture and richness. The dry ingredients include all-purpose or whole wheat flour, granulated and brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and optional cinnamon for flavor depth. Whisking the wet and dry ingredients separately before combining helps maintain a light batter with a few lumps to preserve fluffiness. Cooking the batter on a preheated waffle iron produces waffles with a tender interior and crisp exterior.
This recipe fits well for those following a vegan diet or anyone looking to avoid eggs and dairy in their breakfast. The waffles pair nicely with syrup, fruit toppings, or vegan butter.
For best texture, measure ingredients precisely, avoid overmixing, and adjust batter thickness by adding flour or more plant milk as needed.
Ingredients
- 2 ½ tablespoons water warm
- 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
- 1 ¾ cups vanilla plant-based milk (plain will work)
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour whole wheat will work
- 1 ½ tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon optional
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, and vanilla extract. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, both sugars, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon (if using).
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the plant-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
- Measure ingredients with a kitchen scale for consistent waffle texture.
- Do not overmix batter; aim for a few lumps to keep waffles light and fluffy.
- Adjust batter thickness if needed by adding more flour or plant milk to reach the desired consistency.
