Instructions

Before you begin, ensure your Belgian waffle iron is preheated just right, following those trusty manufacturer’s instructions. This step is key for making the dreamy, non-stick, crispy waffles you’ve been craving.

  1. Make your flax egg and creamy vegan buttermilk by mixing the almond milk and lemon juice. Set aside.
  2. Sift all of the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Then, add the flax egg, vegan buttermilk, unsweetened applesauce, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
  3. Stir with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until the batter is just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Following the manufacturer’s suggestion, pour the waffle batter on the Belgian waffle make and let it cook until both sides of the waffle are golden brown. Do not lift up the waffle iron before the waffles are ready, or your waffles will stick.

Hint: I used 1/2 cup of batter per waffle, but your waffle maker may use a different amount.

Equipment

Notes

  • Preheat your waffle iron: Make sure your waffle iron is nice and hot before pouring in the batter. This helps ensure crispy waffles every time.
  • Adjust batter consistency: Aim for a fairly thick batter. If it’s too runny, add a bit more flour. If it’s too thick, a splash of water should help.
  • Don’t overmix: Mix the batter until everything is just combined. Overmixing can result in dense waffles instead of light and fluffy ones.
  • Let the batter rest: If your batter has lots of lumps, let it rest for about 10 minutes. This allows the lumps to dissolve, resulting in a smoother batter and fluffier waffles.
  • Use a non-stick waffle iron: This will help prevent the waffles from sticking and make cleanup easier.
  • Cook until golden brown: Keep an eye on your waffles and cook them until they’re a beautiful golden brown color. This ensures they’re cooked through and crispy on the outside.

Keep waffles warm: If you’re not serving the waffles immediately, keep them warm in a low oven (around 200°F) until you’re ready to serve. This helps maintain their crispiness.
