    What is it about waffles? Just the word waffle makes me smile. When I think of waffles, I imagine enjoying a lazy Sunday morning, sipping a cup of freshly brewed black coffee, while ladling batter onto a hot waffle maker.

    easy vegan waffles

    Once you see how simple it is to prepare these easy vegan waffles, I'm pretty sure you're going to make them A LOT. After all, who doesn't love waffles? Serve with fresh fruit or a drizzle of maple syrup and a dollop of vegan butter or as a savory entree topped with veggies or vegan chicken.

    Savory Vegan Waffles

    It's interesting to see how waffles as an entree have evolved - notably waffles combined with savory foods. Imagine, waffles paired with Gardein Crispy Tenders or maple tofu bacon. How about grilled asparagus with vegan hollandaise on waffles? Pizza waffles with vegan cheese & marinara. Sandwich waffles. Gluten-free potato waffles. Cookie waffles. Waffles aren't just for breakfast anymore!

    🥕 See my notes below for creating savory or gluten-free vegan waffles.

    How to Make Easy Vegan Waffles

    This is my favorite recipe for simply wonderful easy vegan waffles. You can use this as a base for almost any type of waffle - sweet or savory. Make it even easier on yourself by preparing the batter up to 2 days in advance and store in the fridge. Just be sure to give it a quick whisk before using it.

    I always consider the first waffle in a batch to be a 'test' waffle. Likely due to my own impatience, that first waffle tends to be too light or undercooked since the waffle maker has yet to reach the correct temperature. Now that I think of it, I do the same thing with pancakes. I admit, I rarely let those test waffles (and pancakes) go to waste, because I share them in tiny tidbits with my faithful kitchen companion and food critic, Molly - my English Springer Spaniel. She loves my cooking, what can I say?

    Ingredients

    🥕 See printable recipe at bottom of this post for details

    • 2 C flour
    • 1 tablespoon sugar
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • 4 level teaspoon baking powder (use fresh baking powder for the best rising power).
    • 2 eggs equivalent with a vegan egg replacer (I use Bob's Red Mill )
    • 1-¾ C non-dairy milk of your choice. (I use rice or soy milk)
    • ⅓ C melted vegan butter or vegetable oil

    For a little extra flavor or texture, try adding any of these ingredients:

    • ⅓ C chopped pecans
    • ½ C rinsed/dried blueberries
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla
    • 2 teaspoon lemon or orange zest

    🥕 For savory waffles, replace sugar with 1 teaspoon flour, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon dried herbs or seasoning. You could even add a pinch of pepper if you like.

    🥕 This recipe can be prepared gluten-free. Simply replace the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour of your choice. Make sure to use a gluten-free egg replacer. I prefer Bob's Red Mill Egg Replacer

    Instructions

    Preheat waffle maker according to manufacturer's instructions.

    Combine dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl whisk together wet ingredients, then gradually add to dry ingredients until just mixed together. Don't over-stir.

    Finding The Best Waffle Maker

    So you’re ready to make waffles, but you don’t have a waffle maker or waffle iron? Not sure which one to buy? Here are a few things to think about when choosing the right waffle maker for you. Will you be serving waffles for lots of folks or just a few? Do you prefer easy clean up? Do you like to camp & cook outdoors? Are there young children (or big kids) in your household who would love character themed waffles?

    What’s the difference between waffle makers & waffle irons?

    The two terms are often used interchangeably, but the real difference is a waffle maker is an electric appliance, whereas a waffle iron in used on a stovetop or campfire. Before electric cooking devices were common, cast iron waffle irons were the standard and used on stoves, open fires and woodstoves.

    Here’s a few of the “hottest” waffle makers on the market.

    One of the top rated Belgian waffle makers is the Cuisinart Double Belgian Waffle Maker This fabulous waffle maker is of professional quality for home use. It cooks two waffles at the same time that are crispy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside. Plus, it’s loaded with added features.

    If you’re looking for a simpler, more traditional waffle maker, this round waffle maker by Presto receives excellent ratings on Amazon.

    Themed Waffle Makers

    With so many different styles of waffle makers available today, you can create themed breakfasts.

    This Mickey Mouse waffle maker is pure magic for the Disney devotees in your kingdom or queendom.

    Star Wars fans have lots of waffle making options, including this Millennium Falcon waffle maker:

    For those of you who love outdoor living or glamping, this long-handled cast iron waffle iron will make make your group very happy campers!

    There are even mini waffle makers, which are great for single servings. We have one that we bought as a novelty and use it more often than I would have imagined.
