Quick & Fluffy Vegan Waffles
Very simple & delicious Vegan Waffles! They are so fluffy, and very easy with no complicated ingredients!
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups plant based milk
- 2 tsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp brown sugar or 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil sub vegan butter/any oil
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
Instructions
- In a liquid measuring cup, combine your chosen plant milk and the acid (vinegar or lemon juice). Whisk slightly and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it looks slightly curdled and thick.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift or thoroughly whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and sea salt. (Tip: Emphasize that sifting keeps the waffles light).
- Pour the homemade buttermilk, melted oil/butter, sweetener, and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients. Using a spatula, fold gently until just combined. Stop mixing while there are still lumps; overmixing creates dense waffles. Let the batter rest for a few minutes.
- Turn on your waffle iron to a medium-high heat setting. Lightly brush or spray the plates with oil.
- Ladle about ½ cup of batter into the center of the preheated iron. Close the lid and cook. Watch the steam. Do not open the iron until the steam stops escaping, which takes about 3 to 5 minutes depending on the iron.
- Transfer the cooked waffles to a wire rack inside a warm oven (200°F / 95°C) to keep them crispy while you finish the rest of the batch. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
