Easy, Classic Vegan Waffles made with simple, pantry staple ingredients

Classic Vegan Waffles

Lauren Casolaro
These classic vegan waffles are the best waffles ever! They're crispy and golden on the outside, yet soft and fluffy on the inside. They're easy to make, call for pantry staples, and can easily be customized with any toppings or add-ins you like (my go-to is chocolate chips).

Ingredients
 

  • 3 cups non-dairy milk
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • ½ cup melted vegan butter
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Serving suggestions:

  • butter
  • maple syrup
  • confectioner's sugar
  • fruit or chocolate chips

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, make the buttermilk by whisking together milk and apple cider vinegar. Let this mixture sit and thicken up for at least 5 minutes.
    3 cups non-dairy milk, 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • Add the sugar, melted butter and vanilla extract to the buttermilk and whisk to combine.
    ½ cup melted vegan butter, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking soda and salt. 
    4 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt
  • Add the sifted, dry ingredients to the buttermilk mixture. Mix until just combined, do not overmix! It should be a thick, semi-lumpy batter. If you're adding anything like blueberries or chocolate chips, do it now and stir once more to distribute. 
  • Set your waffle maker to your preferred cooking time (I have mine set at 3.5). Depending on the size of your waffle maker, scoop ½ cup - 1 cup of batter onto your waffle maker. Close, rotate, and cook until the steam stops coming from the waffle maker. The steam should stop right around when your waffle maker says it's ready, but sometimes it doesn't stop for another minute or two. 
  • Repeat until all the batter has been used. 
  • Serve immediately and with your favorite toppings. 

Notes

Allow wet ingredients to reach room temperature before making the batter or the buttermilk. 
Always let the steam coming from your waffle maker completely dissipate before opening. Steam = still cooking. 
If you're adding berries, I recommend adding fresh berries only. Frozen berries will defrost, adding more liquid to the batter, which can skew your results.
My waffles were made using this Cuisinart waffle maker. Your results (yield, cook time, etc) may vary depending on the waffle iron you are using. 
Follow your waffle maker's manufacturer instructions regarding how much batter to use per waffle. I recommended a ½ cup to 1 cup for mine, but yours could be less!
Be sure to check your waffle maker's manufacturer instructions about whether or not you need to grease your waffle iron. I do not need to.
