Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons natural baking powder
- 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups plant-based milk
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons natural maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, natural baking powder, salt, and natural gelling agent. In a separate bowl, whisk together plant-based milk, vegetable oil, natural maple syrup, and natural vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. A few lumps are okay; avoid over-mixing for light waffles.
- Preheat and Grease the Waffle Iron: Turn on your waffle iron and lightly grease both plates with vegetable oil or cooking spray. Make sure the waffle iron is fully heated before adding the batter to ensure a crispy exterior.
- Cook the Waffles: Pour enough batter onto the waffle iron to evenly cover the surface. Close the lid and cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions, typically 3 to 5 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Do not open the iron too early to allow proper cooking.
- Serve Immediately or Keep Warm: Carefully remove the waffles and serve immediately for the best texture. To keep them warm, place cooked waffles in a low oven while finishing the rest of the batch.
Notes
- The batter should be thick but pourable, not runny or too stiff.
- Use room temperature plant-based milk and other liquids to help create a better rise and smooth blending.
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough waffles; a few lumps are fine.
- Ensure the waffle iron is fully preheated for crisp edges and beautiful browning.
- Let the waffles cool slightly on a wire rack before stacking to prevent sogginess.
