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 reaches the proper cooking temperature for crisp waffles.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined to ensure even distribution throughout the batter.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the almond milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and ground flaxseed (if using) thoroughly to create a uniform liquid mixture that will help bind the waffles.
- Mix Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; the batter should be slightly thick but without overmixing to keep waffles light and fluffy.
- Cook Waffles: Lightly grease the waffle iron with oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking. Pour the batter onto the iron using a ladle and cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions until the waffles are golden brown and crisp on the outside.
- Serve: Carefully remove the waffles and serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or vegan butter for a delicious plant-based breakfast treat.
Notes
- You can substitute almond milk with any other plant-based milk like soy, oat, or coconut milk.
- Adding ground flaxseed is optional but helps improve binding and adds omega-3 fatty acids.
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough waffles.
- Preheating the waffle iron properly is key to achieving crispy texture.
- Leftover waffles can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in a toaster or oven for best results.
