    Tips & Tricks for Vegan Waffles

    Flax Seed Eggs

    Make sure to let your flax seed and water mixture sit for 10 minutes after combining. You need to allow the mixture to sit this long so it has time to thicken. This flax egg will be the binding ingredient in your waffles, so you want to make sure it's right!

    Mixing the Batter

    When mixing up the batter, it's okay if there are a few lumps in it. For the most part, you want to work out most of the lumps. But you also don't want to overmix the batter or else your waffles will be too dense!

    Variations to Vegan Waffles

    Cocoa Waffles

    Add in some cocoa powder to make a chocolate flavored waffles! This is a delicious way to enhance the flavor.

    Berry Waffles

    Mix in fresh or frozen fruit to create berry waffles. Any fruit—not just berries—works great for this breakfast waffle recipe.

    Spices

    Add some apple pie spice, cinnamon, or even pumpkin spice to your waffles for another layer of flavor! I recommend ½–1 teaspoon of spice depending on which kind you choose.

    Chocolate Chips

    Grab your favorite vegan chocolate chips or chunks, and mix them in. Aim for around ½ cup of chocolate pieces for one batch of waffle batter.

    Vegan Waffles FAQs

    Can I double this waffle recipe?

    You can easily double this waffle recipe. Just mix up double the amount of ingredients and cook your waffles as normal. You can store the cooked waffles in the oven at 225°F on a baking sheet to keep them warm.

    Can I use a different type of plant based milk?

    Any plant based milk will work for this recipe. Just swap out the almond milk for cashew, oat, or whatever type of plant milk you prefer.

    Can you freeze vegan waffles?

    Do you like meal prepping? Go right ahead and flash freeze these waffles on a baking sheet for 1–2 hours. Then transfer the frozen waffles to a freezer-safe bag or container. You can store these waffles in your freezer up to 3–4 months. Then, just reheat them whatever way you would like.
