Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 waffles
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 1/2 cups almond milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 1 1/2 cups almond milk, and 1/4 cup vegetable oil.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until they are well blended, ensuring there are no lumps.
- In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients. Combine the almond milk, vegetable oil, and maple syrup. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and the oil is fully incorporated.
- Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few small lumps.
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. If your waffle iron requires oiling, lightly grease it with a non-stick spray or a small amount of vegetable oil.
- Once the waffle iron is hot, pour about 1/2 cup of the batter onto the center of the iron, or enough to cover the surface without overflowing. Close the lid and cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions, typically for about 5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
- Carefully remove the waffle from the iron using a fork or tongs. Place the cooked waffle on a wire rack to cool slightly. This will help prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, ensuring to re-grease the waffle iron if necessary.
- Once all the waffles are cooked, allow them to cool completely on the wire rack.
- To freeze the waffles, stack them with parchment paper in between each waffle to prevent sticking. Place the stack in an airtight freezer bag or container.
- Label the bag or container with the date and contents. These waffles can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- To reheat, simply pop a waffle in the toaster or microwave until heated through. Enjoy your homemade vegan waffles with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, or nut butter!
Tips
- Measure Accurately: Make sure to measure your flour correctly—scooping directly from the bag can lead to dense waffles. Use the spoon-and-level method for best results.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can make your waffles tough instead of light and fluffy.
- Preheat the Waffle Iron: Always preheat your waffle iron fully before pouring in the batter. This ensures even cooking and helps achieve that perfect golden-brown finish.
- Use Parchment Paper: When stacking cooked waffles for freezing, place parchment paper between each waffle to prevent them from sticking together.
- Customize Your Waffles: Feel free to add in your favorite mix-ins, such as blueberries, chocolate chips, or nuts, to make your waffles even more delicious!
- Reheat with Care: For the best texture, reheat your frozen waffles in a toaster rather than a microwave. This will help them regain their crispiness.
- Top It Off: Get creative with toppings! Fresh fruit, maple syrup, nut butter, or even a dollop of vegan yogurt can take your waffles to the next level.
