Vegan Waffles
You need just 25 minutes for super customizable vegan waffles that are gluten-free, perfectly crispy on the outside, and fluffy in the middle. Plus, these oatmeal waffles can be meal-prepped, frozen, and then popped in the toaster for a treat every single day!
Servings 4
Ingredients
Dry ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (80 g) white rice flour or brown rice flour
- 1/2 cup (45 g) oat flour GF if needed (or simply grind oats in your blender)
- 1/3 cup (52 g) potato starch or cornstarch
- 1 tbsp chia seeds ground (or flax seeds)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
Wet ingredients:
- 2/3 cup (160 ml) light coconut milk (see notes)
- 1 tbsp lime or lemon juice
- 2 tbsp maple syrup or agave syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For two colored waffles:
- 2 tbsp (12 g) cocoa powder or cacao powder
- 1 tbsp maple syrup or agave syrup
- 1 tbsp plant-based milk
Instructions
- You can watch the video in the post for visual instructions.I recommend measuring the ingredients in grams on a kitchen scale.
- Combine the wet ingredients in a mug and put aside.
- Process the oats in an electric coffee grinder/blender or blender. Blend until they turn into flour (or just use store-bought oat flour).
- Add all dry ingredients to a bowl.
- Add wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir with a spoon or whisk until just combined (don't overmix). The batter should form some bubbles because the baking soda will react with the lime/lemon juice.
- Heat your waffle machine (I use low to medium heat). Once it's hot, lightly brush it with oil, spoon 2-3 tbsp batter (per waffle) in it, and cook for about 5 minutes (or as per the instructions of your waffle machine).
- For two-colored waffles, split the batter into two parts. Add the remaining ingredients (cocoa or cacao powder, maple syrup, plant milk) to one-half of the batter and whisk. Spoon a little light batter into your heated waffle machine and then some chocolate batter.
- Serve your waffles with maple syrup, a chocolate sauce or fruits, and enjoy!
Notes
- If you're not a fan of coconut milk, simply use your favorite plant-based milk. However, any low-fat milk will require 1 tbsp of oil to be added to the batter, to avoid sticking.
- The recipe makes 4 thick, large waffles. Nutrition facts are for one plain waffle (without the chocolate part).
