The Ingredients

To make your new favourite vegan waffle you will need the ingredients in the image below:

A few notes about the ingredients:

Plant milk: any unflavoured plant milk such as soy, almond, coconut, oat, etc. will work.

Flour: I've used plain white flour, but feel free to substitute for wholemeal or other type of flour.

Brown sugar: to make this recipe sugar-free, use stevia instead of sugar.

Vinegar: use apple cider or white wine vinegar.

Step-by-Step Guide

This is a quick visual guide to your waffle recipe. Find all measurements and in-depth instructions in the recipe card below.

1. Make your flax egg by combining ground flaxseed and boiling hot water. Stir and set aside for 5-10 minutes.

2. Combine almond milk and vinegar. Stir thoroughly and set aside.

3. Add flour, baking powder, salt and sugar to a medium-sized bowl. Mix well. Return to your wet mixture and add oil, flax egg, and vanilla. Mix well.

4. Pour your wet ingredients over your dry ingredients. Mix until combined, careful not to overmix.

Cook on a preheated waffle iron according to instructions given by your waffle maker. I cooked my small waffles for 8 minutes per waffle.

Once cooked, serve with fresh raspberry sauce (recipe below) and eat straight away. Alternatively, let cool and toast the waffle later just before serving.

Aaandd, bon appetit!

Expert Tips

1. Don't use bread flour

When making this recipe, always use the right type of flour. But which one, I hear you ask? Stick to old and trusted all-purpose, plain flour! Never go for strong bread or pastry flour. You can, however, experiment with wholemeal or oat flour.

Feel free to add some wholemeal flour, but try not to ONLY use wholemeal. A ratio of 1:1 should work fine (half plain flour, half wholemeal flour).2. Do not overmix

2. Never over-whisk your batter.

Overwhisking will create dense, hard to chew waffles. Read more about why it's important not to over-whisk your batter here.

Serving Suggestions

I encourage you to try out my delicious homemade raspberry sauce. However, you might be looking for other serving suggestions. Below are my top tips:

• The Classic. Golden, maple or agave syrup, a cupful of fresh berries and some melted dairy-free butter.
• Go savoury! Omit the sugar when baking these and serve with some crunchy vegan chicken and chips! Yum.
• Ice it up. Serve with a scoop of your favourite ice cream and a drizzle of agave syrup.
• Go bananas! You absolutely can’t go wrong with bananas. Serve your waffles with vegan chocolate spread, banana slices, and some chopped up roasted nuts.
