vegan waffle recipe

These fluffy vegan waffles are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, made with simple pantry ingredients. Perfect for breakfast or brunch, they use a homemade vegan buttermilk to achieve a light texture without eggs or dairy.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 2 tablespoons sugar (brown or white)
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 ¾ cups unsweetened plant-based milk (soy, almond, oat)
• 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
• ¼ cup melted coconut oil or vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. In a small bowl, combine plant-based milk with apple cider vinegar or lemon juice. Let sit 5-10 minutes to curdle into vegan buttermilk.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
3. Add the vegan buttermilk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; some lumps are fine.
4. Preheat and grease your waffle iron. Pour batter to cover the waffle grid (about ½ cup per waffle).
5. Cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions until golden and crisp, usually 3-5 minutes.
6. Remove and keep waffles warm in a low oven if making batches. Serve with vegan butter, maple syrup, or fresh fruit.
