I make a lot of waffles. I was excited when the #SundaySupper crew came up with a theme of breakfast for dinner since I eat waffles all the time. That’s the thing: they reheat well (I use the toaster since I like them extra crispy) and are so darn portable. To make my waffles I don’t have anything fancy: I use my George Foreman, or Mr. Foreman as he’s known around here. I got the one with interchangeable plates and I love it. Grill something one day, griddle plate another day and then there’s the pancake plates. I use them the most often. I rarely fill them full, I like smaller waffles, that way you get more!
This is a basic recipe that uses a buttermilk alternative that is popular in vegan baking: apple cider vinegar and non-dairy milk. It curdles the milk a bit and helps with that sourness that is in a real buttermilk. You can opt to use other flours but I would do a 50/50 mix at first. 100% whole wheat would be too much, and same with even whole wheat pastry flour. Top them with whatever you want. Your call. My standby is just plain maple syrup. Can’t be beat honestly.
Basic Vegan Waffles Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 Cups Non Dairy Milk I used Almond Milk
- 1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
- 3 Tbsp Canola Oil
- 2 Tbsp Maple Syrup
- 2 Cups All Purpose Flour
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 Tbsp Baking Powder
- 1 Tbsp Cornstarch
Instructions
- Add the apple cider vinegar to the non dairy milk and let sit about 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl add the wet ingredients one by one and mix it thoroughly with a whisk.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix it until the batter is smooth. It should have the consistency of pancake batter; neither too thick nor too thin.
- Spray the waffle iron with cooking spray and make waffles according to the instructions that comes with your waffle iron.

Normally it would be very socially unacceptable to have wine with your breakfast, but seeing as this is closer to sunset than sunrise, we say go for it!!!

What a great recipe! And love the tip on the apple cider vinegar helping to taste like buttermilk!

Mmmmm….waffles make me happy 🙂
Your waffles look amazing! I haven’t had waffles in forever. I don’t know if it is my waffle maker or my recipe, but it never turns out. I have to give your recipe a try!!

We love waffles for dinner in this house!
I could eat waffles at any time of day too. I love making a giant batch, keeping them the fridge or freezer and throwing them into the toaster. Yum! These look great. I love that you posted a vegan alternative to the regular waffle recipes.
That’s exactly what I do! I love them extra crispy from the toaster, I tend to just hold them in my hand to eat them. My favourite way.
Can’t ever go wrong with waffles!
Yum, I need to add these to my Vegan Before 6 breakfast rotation! I have to admit, I’m getting pretty tired of museli and almond milk….
I hear ya. I was on a 2 month long muesli & almond milk kick. I think I’m WAY off that. I needed a break.
There’s nothing better than a good classic waffle recipe! These look like the perfect combo of crispy and fluffy!

I used to make waffles all the time when my kids were little…I need to fire up our waffle iron again 🙂
I never thought of the vegan alternative for buttermilk before but it sounds great! I bet the cornstarch keeps them nice and puffy too!
We used to make these in college with soy milk stolen from the caf ;-). Tried and true!
This is a great recipe to have in my file box. I have several vegan friends and am always scrambling for recipes. Your waffles look great!
These look delicious, Shannon! I’m going to have to keep checking over here for great recipe ideas. 🙂

I don’t eat waffles often, and I must confess, I’ve never thought about whether or not they are “vegan”, but since I do watch what I eat, thanks for sharing this recipe!
You know, I have one of those all-in-one grill things, and I have yet to use the waffle grates … looks as if I need to get them out and give ’em a whirl!

Your waffles look delish! Thanks for the tip on adding apple cider vinegar to taste more like buttermilk.
I love how portable waffles are too! I’ve never tried making a vegan version before…definitely want to have one!

Love waffles, too!
Haven’t had one in a long time, but your photo makes me want to; viewing as part of Foodie Friends Friday Party!
Cheers! Joanne

I make waffles often and this sounds like a great way to make them for someone who has a milk allergy. Thanks for sharing on Foodie Friends Friday.
These look great! I miss waffles from my pre-vegan days. With your recipe, I might just have to go out & buy a waffle iron : )

We made these they were wonderful. We did add cinnamon and vanilla. Yummy
Glad they worked out for you Trish!
These were awesome! I subbed in molasses for the maple syrup, and did one part white flour to two parts rye flour, creating an almost gingerbready flavour. I will definitely be using this as a base for other experiments!
Oh, that sounds awesome. I have a love affair with molasses, this sounds right up my alley!
I love this recipe, it’s so easy. I’ve been making it a lot over the past few months and I shared a few photos on my blog today.
