Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 tablespoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.75 cups Plant-based milk (e.g., almond, soy, or oat milk)
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cups Vegan butter (melted) or neutral oil (e.g., canola oil)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- as needed Cooking spray or additional oil
Instructions
In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, combine the plant-based milk and apple cider vinegar. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes to create vegan "buttermilk."
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
Add the vegan buttermilk, melted vegan butter (or oil), and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.
Scoop the appropriate amount of batter (typically about 1/3 to 1/2 cup, depending on your waffle iron's size) onto the preheated waffle iron. Spread the batter slightly, if needed, to ensure even cooking.
Close the waffle iron and cook the waffle until golden brown and crispy. This usually takes 4-6 minutes, but follow your waffle iron's instructions for best results.
Carefully remove the waffle and place it on a cooling rack to maintain crispness. Repeat with the remaining batter, re-greasing the waffle iron as necessary.
Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, vegan whipped cream, or powdered sugar.
