๐ค What Are the Secrets to Making Waffles Vegan?
To create a perfect vegan waffle recipe, we need to replace two key ingredients: the milk and the eggs. A couple of simple, plant-based substitutions are all it takes.
How do you replace the milk?
This is the easiest swap. You can use any unsweetened plant-based milk. Almond, soy, and oat milk all work beautifully. To create an extra tender and fluffy waffle, we can make a simple vegan "buttermilk." You do this by adding a small amount of apple cider vinegar to the plant milk. This helps to create a lighter texture.
How do you replace the eggs?
In many waffle recipes, the eggs are there for binding and a little bit of lift. However, the real leavening power comes from the baking powder. For this simple recipe, we do not need a special egg replacer. The combination of the other ingredients provides all the structure you need!
๐ฅฃ How Do You Make the Best Vegan Waffles?
This simple recipe is a game-changer. It is a foolproof way to make delicious, crowd-pleasing waffles. The most important tip is to not overmix the batter. A few lumps are perfectly fine.
What Ingredients Do You Need?
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 2 cups of unsweetened almond milk (or other plant milk)
- 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup of melted coconut oil or other neutral oil
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
What Are the Instructions?
1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. In a small bowl, stir together the almond milk and the apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes to create the vegan "buttermilk."
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: To the "buttermilk" mixture, whisk in the melted coconut oil and the vanilla extract.
4. Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until everything is just combined. Do not overmix the batter; a few small lumps are okay.
5. Cook the Waffles: Lightly grease your waffle iron. Pour the batter onto the hot iron and cook until golden brown and crispy. The amount of batter and the cooking time will depend on your specific machine.
โญ What Are the Best Vegan Toppings for Your Waffles?
The best part of waffles is the toppings! Get creative and load them up with your favorite vegan treats. Great choices include:
