Ingredients

Here are the simple ingredients that you'll want to have on hand for making these vegan gluten free waffles.

• Almond milk or other dairy-free milk
• Vegetable oil
• Vanilla extract
• Granulated sugar
• Gluten free flour
• Baking powder
• Baking soda
• Salt

See recipe card for quantities.

Instructions

Below, are some process shots along with simple steps for making the best waffles. Before turning on your waffle iron, be sure to season it. You can use vegetable oil, vegan butter or cooking spray. This will make it much easier to remove them from the iron. I also recommend using wooden tongs to remove them which will prevent ruining the coating on your iron.

1. Add gluten free flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a sieve over a medium bowl and sift them. Whisk ingredients, afterwards.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and the sugar.

3. Add dry ingredients into bowl of wet ingredients and combine well with a spatula.

4. This is what your waffle batter should look like. Use a ladle to pour batter into waffle iron.

Hint: Do not overfill waffle iron. Doing this will cause spillover of the waffle batter.

Toppings

Here are some delicious vegan topping options to elevate your waffles:

• Fresh Fruits: Top your waffles with an assortment of fresh fruit like sliced strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or bananas. The natural sweetness and vibrant colors will add a refreshing touch.
• Nut Butter Drizzle: Melt some creamy almond butter, peanut butter, or cashew butter and drizzle it over your waffles. It adds a luscious, nutty flavor that complements the texture perfectly.
• Coconut Whipped Cream: Whip up a batch of coconut cream by refrigerating a can of full-fat coconut milk overnight. Then, scoop the thickened cream into a small bowl, add a touch of sweetener like maple syrup or powdered sugar, and whip until light and fluffy. Dollop it generously on your waffles for a delightful, dairy-free alternative to traditional whipped cream.
• Maple Syrup and Nuts: Classic and irresistible, a drizzle of pure maple syrup over warm waffles is always a winner. Sprinkle some crushed walnuts, pecans, or almonds on top for added crunch and nutty goodness.
• Vegan Chocolate Sauce: Melt some vegan chocolate chips with a splash of plant-based milk until smooth and glossy. Drizzle the velvety chocolate sauce over your waffles for a decadent and indulgent treat.
• Coconut Yogurt: Spoon some creamy coconut yogurt on top of your waffles for a tangy and refreshing twist. Add a sprinkle of granola, chia seeds, or toasted coconut flakes for extra texture and flavor.

Remember, these are just a few suggestions. You can mix and match your favorite waffle toppings to create your own unique combinations. Go from eating regular waffles to eating elevated waffles!

Store leftover gluten-free vegan waffles in a resealable bag or airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a toaster oven for crispy waffles.
