Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed (optional, for extra binding)
Instructions
- Preheat Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron following the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure it’s hot and ready for cooking the batter evenly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined for a uniform batter base.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the almond milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and ground flaxseed if using, to create a smooth liquid mixture.
- Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently just until combined, creating a slightly thick waffle batter without overmixing to maintain fluffiness.
- Grease and Cook Waffles: Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with oil or cooking spray. Pour batter onto the iron using a ladle and cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
- Serve: Carefully remove the waffles once cooked and serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or vegan butter for a delightful breakfast experience.
Notes
- Ground flaxseed is optional but helps improve the binding of the batter for better texture.
- You can substitute almond milk with any other plant-based milk such as soy, oat, or cashew milk.
- Adjust cooking time based on your waffle iron to avoid undercooked or overcooked waffles.
- Waffles can be made in advance and frozen for a quick breakfast; reheat in a toaster or oven.
