Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 cup plant-based milk
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 package vegan chicken strips
- Maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 1 cup flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 cup plant-based milk, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 package vegan chicken strips, and maple syrup for serving.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and baking powder. Whisk together until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the plant-based milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until the ingredients are well blended.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
- Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Once the waffle maker is ready, lightly grease it with a non-stick cooking spray or a little oil.
- Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the preheated waffle maker, ensuring it covers the surface evenly. Close the lid and cook according to your waffle maker's instructions, usually about 5-7 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
- While the waffles are cooking, prepare the vegan chicken strips according to the package instructions. This usually involves pan-frying or baking them until they are heated through and crispy.
- Once the waffles are done, carefully remove them from the waffle maker and place them on a serving plate.
- Top each waffle with a few crispy vegan chicken strips.
- Drizzle with maple syrup to taste, and serve immediately while hot.
- Enjoy your delicious Vegan Chicken and Waffles!
Tips
- Don't overmix your waffle batter - lumpy is good! Overmixing can lead to tough, dense waffles.
- Ensure your waffle maker is properly preheated for that perfect crispy exterior.
- Choose a high-quality vegan chicken strip brand for the best flavor and texture.
- For extra crispiness, you can briefly pan-fry or air fry your vegan chicken strips before serving.
- Warm your maple syrup slightly before drizzling to enhance its flavor and make it flow more smoothly.
- If you want to add extra flavor, try sprinkling some herbs or adding a dash of hot sauce to your vegan chicken strips.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and temperature - nobody likes a soggy waffle!
