Light Crispy Vegan Waffles Recipes

BEST VEGAN WAFFLES (EASY + HEALTHY)

Steps:

• Preheat waffle maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Also, preheat oven to 200 degrees F., for keeping the waffles warm.
• In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, oil and non-dairy milk, mix well, until most of the flour lumps are gone.
• If not using a non-stick waffle iron, spray waffle plate with cooking oil. Using a 1/2 measuring cup (amounts will vary depending on your waffle iron), scoop up batter and pour in the center of waffle plate. Close the cover and cook as directed by manufacturer's instructions. For crispier waffles, let cook 5 - 12 seconds longer, depending on your waffle iron.
• Gently remove with the tip of a fork and place on a wire rack in the oven until the remaining waffles are made.
• Pair your waffles with fresh blueberries, strawberries, raspberries or blackberries, and top with pure maple syrup or this easy homemade Blueberry Compote. You may even like to drizzle with vegan chocolate syrup and add a dollop of whipped coconut cream.
• Makes 4 - 5 waffles.
• Leftover waffles can be kept in the refrigerator for up to a week, or store in the freezer for up to 1- 2 months. When ready to eat, pop them in the toaster oven. Larger batches can be warmed in a preheated oven set to 350 degrees for 10 - 15 minutes, using a greased or lined baking sheet.

LIGHT & CRISPY VEGAN WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat your waffle maker.
• If the coconut milk is solidified, place it into a small saucepan and set over low heat. Heat just until liquid, but not warm.
• Pour coconut milk into a large mixing bowl. Scrape the pulp of the vanilla bean into the coconut milk (discard the pod) or add vanilla bean paste or extract. Stir to combine.
• Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir gently with a wooden spoon just until combined (if you overmix, you risk making the waffles tough; don't worry, a few lumps are okay).
• Spray your preheated waffle maker with cooking spray, if using. Pour batter into your waffle maker according to manufacturer instructions, as waffle makers vary. My waffle maker takes a heaping 1/3 cup per side.
• Cook until golden brown, as per your individual waffle maker.
• Serve with pure maple syrup, butter (or vegan butter), fresh berries, or anything else you'd like!

LIGHT AND FLUFFY VEGAN WAFFLES

Steps:

• Combine water and flaxseed meal in a medium-sized bowl. Set aside for 5 minutes.
• Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Mix well.
• Add almond milk, oil, applesauce, and vanilla extract to flaxseed mixture. Combine until smooth. Add to flour mixture and stir until just combined.
• Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Add 1/3 cup waffle batter to the preheated waffle iron and cook until waffle is golden brown and the iron stops steaming, about 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

LIGHT, CRISP WAFFLES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200°F and heat the waffle iron.
• Mix the flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a medium bowl.
• Measure the buttermilk, milk, and vegetable oil in a Pyrex measuring cup; mix in the egg yolk and set aside.
• In another bowl, beat the egg white almost to soft peaks. Sprinkle in the sugar and continue to beat until the peaks are firm and glossy. Beat in the vanilla.
• Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk until just mixed.
• Drop the whipped egg white onto the batter in dollops and fold in with a spatula until just incorporated.
• Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron and cook until the waffle is crisp and nutty brown (follow the manufacturer's instructions for timing at first and then adjust to your liking).
• Set the waffle directly on the oven rack to keep it warm and crisp.
• Repeat with the remaining batter, holding the waffles in the oven (don't stack them).
