Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup coconut oil or vegetable oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure it is hot enough for the batter.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly mixed.
- Create Vegan Buttermilk: In a separate bowl or measuring cup, mix the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes to curdle slightly, mimicking buttermilk.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Stir the melted coconut oil and vanilla extract into the vegan buttermilk mixture until combined.
- Mix Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy; avoid overmixing.
- Cook Waffles: Lightly grease the waffle iron if necessary. Pour batter into the preheated iron and cook according to your waffle maker’s directions, typically 4–5 minutes, until waffles are golden brown and crisp.
- Serve: Remove waffles and serve immediately with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or vegan butter. Repeat cooking with remaining batter.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients.
- These waffles freeze well; reheat them in a toaster or oven for a quick breakfast.
- Use any plant-based milk of your choice if almond milk is unavailable.
- Lightly grease waffle iron to prevent sticking unless it has a non-stick surface.
