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’s hot enough for cooking the waffles evenly and crisping the exterior.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to combine and aerate the mixture for fluffy waffles.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the almond milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and ground flaxseed if using, ensuring everything is well incorporated for even moisture and flavor.
- Make Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the batter slightly thick and allow the waffles to remain tender.
- Cook Waffles: Lightly grease the waffle iron with oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking. Pour the batter onto the waffle iron using a ladle, then cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
- Serve: Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and serve immediately with toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or vegan butter for added flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute almond milk with any other plant-based milk like oat, soy, or coconut milk.
- Adding ground flaxseed helps bind the batter but is optional.
- Do not over-mix the batter to avoid tough waffles.
- Ensure the waffle iron is well-preheated for best crispiness.
- Leftover waffles can be frozen and reheated in a toaster or oven.
