Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups unsweetened soy milk (360mL) or coconut milk or any vegan milk
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar (10mL) or lemon juice
  • ¼ cup melted coconut oil (60mL) or melted vegan butter or any oil
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (2.1g)

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (240g)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (14.4g)
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt (2.8g)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar (12.5g) or maple syrup

To Serve

  • Fruits such as blueberries or a dollop of vegan whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare Vegan Buttermilk: Mix the unsweetened soy milk, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar or lemon juice together in a small bowl or measuring cup. Set aside for about 5 minutes to allow it to curdle and create a vegan buttermilk effect.
  2. Sift Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and sea salt. Sifting helps to aerate the flour, contributing to fluffy waffles.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry: Add the brown sugar (or maple syrup), melted coconut oil (or vegan butter), and the prepared vegan buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients. Using a spatula, gently mix the batter until just combined. It’s normal to have some lumps; avoid overmixing. The batter should be thick and scoopable.
  4. Preheat Waffle Maker: Turn on and preheat your waffle maker according to your preferred done level; medium heat is recommended for a balance of crispness and fluffiness.
  5. Cook the Waffles: Using a ½ cup (120mL) measuring cup, scoop batter and pour it into the center of the greased waffle maker. You don’t need to spread it to the edges; close the lid and cook until the steam completely stops, indicating the waffles are done. Avoid opening the lid prematurely.
  6. Keep Waffles Warm: Remove each cooked waffle and place them on a baking sheet in a preheated oven or toaster oven set to ‘warm’ or 200°F (95°C) to keep crispy and warm while cooking the remaining batter.
  7. Serve: Serve the waffles with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit and vegan whipped cream. Enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense waffles; slight lumps are desirable.
  • Let the batter rest briefly after mixing to improve texture.
  • Ensure the waffle maker is properly preheated for even cooking and crispiness.
  • Using a baking sheet in the oven to keep waffles warm prevents sogginess.
  • Feel free to customize toppings with seasonal fruits or vegan syrups.
