Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend, if desired)
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (or coconut sugar)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1.25 cups Unsweetened almond milk (or other plant-based milk)
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Neutral oil (e.g., vegetable oil, melted coconut oil, or avocado oil)
- 1 cup Fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup Dairy-free whipped cream
- 1 as needed Vegan butter or cooking spray (for greasing waffle maker)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl or liquid measuring cup, mix the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes to create a vegan 'buttermilk'.
Add the vegan buttermilk, vanilla extract, and oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; avoid overmixing as it may lead to dense waffles.
Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease it with vegan butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Pour the batter into the waffle maker (amount depends on the size of your waffle maker, but approximately 1/2 to 2/3 cup works for most). Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
Carefully remove the waffle and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle maker as needed between batches.
Top the waffles with sliced strawberries and a generous dollop of dairy-free whipped cream.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
