Who doesn’t love waffles on Sunday morning? These waffles are crispy on the outside, but also will melt in your mouth. This recipe is my go-to for quick and delicious waffles.
Vegan “Buttermilk” Waffles
Ingredients:
1 cup flour (I usually use organic white whole wheat, but any flour will work fine)
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 tbsp. ground flaxseed whisked together with 4 tbsp. water
1/4 cup applesauce
1 tbsp. canola oil
1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Directions:
(Heat up your waffle iron while preparing the batter.)
1) Whisk together the ground flaxseed and water and set to the side.
2) Mix together the flour, baking powder and sugar.
3) Squeeze the lemon juice into the almond milk (this is what gives it the “buttermilk” taste)
4) Mix in with the almond milk all of the remaining ingredients (the wet ingredients).
4) Add the flaxseed to the wet ingredients.
5) Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and stir until blended.
6) Spray your waffle iron with a non-stick spray. Once it is heated, pour in enough waffle batter to almost fill it. Leave a little room on the edges for the batter to spread.
7) Cook according to your waffle iron directions.
Makes two big waffles. Top with maple syrup, sliced strawberries or other fruit. You can also add about 1/2 cup of blueberries to make blueberry waffles!
Note: If you want to make these waffles, but don’t have the lemon juice or apple sauce, they will still turn out good.
Happy brunch!
