Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed (optional, for extra binding)
Instructions
- Preheat Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure it is hot and ready for cooking the batter evenly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to combine and aerate the mixture.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix almond milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and ground flaxseed (if using) until thoroughly blended.
- Make Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; the batter should be slightly thick but smooth. Avoid overmixing to keep waffles tender.
- Cook Waffles: Lightly grease the waffle iron with oil or cooking spray. Pour a ladleful of batter into the center of the waffle iron and close it. Cook according to your waffle iron instructions until the waffles are golden brown and crisp on the outside.
- Serve: Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and serve immediately with toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruits, or vegan butter for extra flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute almond milk with any other plant-based milk like soy, oat, or cashew milk.
- Ground flaxseed is optional but helps improve the texture and binding of the batter.
- For a gluten-free version, replace all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
- Ensure the waffle iron is properly greased each time to prevent sticking.
- Waffles are best served fresh but can be reheated in a toaster or oven for crispiness.
