In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for a minute to curdle slightly, creating a vegan buttermilk.
Add the vanilla extract and vegetable oil to the almond milk mixture, then stir to combine.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to ensure tender waffles.
In a small bowl, whisk the aquafaba until it becomes frothy. This will act as a vegan egg substitute, helping to stabilize the waffle structure.
Gently fold the frothy aquafaba into the waffle batter, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Preheat your bubble waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease it with a bit of vegetable oil or non-stick spray.
Once the waffle maker is ready, pour enough batter onto the waffle plate to cover the surface but avoid overflowing.
Close the waffle maker and cook for about 5 minutes or until the waffle is golden brown and crispy.
Carefully remove the waffle using tongs or a fork, then repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the vegan bubble waffles warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruits, maple syrup, or vegan whipped cream.
