Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. This is essential for achieving that perfect crispy exterior.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1 tablespoon of cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well combined and there are no lumps.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the wet ingredients: pour in 1 cup of almond milk, add 1/4 cup of vegetable oil, and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup. Whisk these ingredients together until they are fully blended and smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir the mixture with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine. This will help ensure your waffles remain fluffy.
- Once the batter is ready, lightly grease the waffle iron with a small amount of vegetable oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron, usually around 1/2 to 3/4 cup, depending on the size of your waffle iron. Close the lid and cook according to your waffle iron's instructions, typically for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
- Carefully remove the waffles from the iron using a fork or tongs. Place them on a wire rack to keep them crisp while you cook the remaining waffles.
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron as necessary.
- Once all the waffles are cooked, serve them warm with your favorite toppings. Consider adding fresh fruit, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a sprinkle of additional cinnamon for an extra special touch.
Tips
- Preheat for Perfection: Always preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect crispy exterior that makes waffles so irresistible.
- Mixing Matters: When combining your wet and dry ingredients, remember not to overmix. A few lumps in the batter are perfectly fine and will help keep your waffles fluffy and light.
- Grease it Right: Lightly grease the waffle iron with vegetable oil or cooking spray before pouring in the batter. This will prevent sticking and ensure that your waffles come out easily and intact.
- Portion Control: Use about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of batter for each waffle, adjusting based on the size of your waffle iron. This helps in achieving a consistent thickness and cooking time.
- Keep Them Crisp: As you cook each waffle, place them on a wire rack instead of stacking them on a plate. This allows air circulation and keeps them crisp while you finish cooking the rest.
- Topping Time: Get creative with your toppings! Fresh fruit, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a sprinkle of additional cinnamon can take your waffles to the next level. Don’t be afraid to experiment!
