Expert Tips
While this vegan waffle recipe is super simple and straightforward, you might want to take note of these tips and tricks too.
- Remember to grease your waffle iron with some vegan butter or melted coconut oil to keep the waffle batter from sticking to the waffle maker.
- If you don’t have melted vegan butter and don’t wanted to use melted coconut oil, you can just spray some cooking spray on the waffle iron.
- Remember to follow the waffle iron instructions carefully and use a greased waffle maker to make sure the waffles come out perfect.
- You can also try making vegan Belgian waffles with the same mixture by using a Belgian waffle iron.
- Another great idea is to use a mini waffle maker to make these easy vegan waffles for kids.
- I used cane sugar to sweeten the waffle mixture, but you can also use some pure maple syrup or brown sugar instead.
- Chocolate chips can also be a great addition to the waffle batter.
- I also like to add a dash of vanilla extract to waffle batter to balance out all the flavors.

Storage Instructions

What To Serve With This Recipe?

FAQ’S
What Can I Use Instead of All Purpose Flour?
I used all purpose flour to make vegan waffles, but you can also use whole wheat flour instead if you want to make it healthier.
To make gluten free waffles, you can use oat flour or spelt flour or even some coconut flour.
Buckwheat flour is another great option if you’re looking for a gluten free flour to use to make these light and fluffy waffles.
Can I Use Any Other Plant Based Milk?
You can use almost any kind of non dairy milk of your choice. Coconut milk, almond milk, Oat Milk and soy milk are all great choices.
Vegan buttermilk can be another great addition to the mixture.
