Servings: 6 large waffles
Ingredients
- 2 cups of non-dairy milk
- 1 tsp raw apple cider vinegar
- 1 1/2 cups cormeal
- 1 cup oat flour
- 1/4 cup of unsweetened non-dairy yogurt*
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp date sugar or coconut sugar
- 1 tbsp ground flax seeds
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine apple cider vinegar with non-dairy milk and allow to sit until slightly thickened (we're mimicking buttermilk here).
- Whisk together cornmeal, oat flour, date sugar, flax seeds, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
- Next add the thickened milk, non-dairy yogurt, maple syrup and vanilla extract and combine with a spatula until smooth.
- Your mixture should be thicker than pancake batter, but still spoonable into your waffle iron. If you need to, you can add additional non-dairy milk by the teaspoon.
- Follow instructions to make waffles according to your waffle iron.
Notes
Expert Tips
- I used an unsweetened coconut yogurt, and I recommend looking for one with minimal, unprocessed ingredients (i.e. no added sugars, oils, etc.)
- You can also experiment by topping with some savory ingredients for that nice sweet/savory flavor combo. Make savory waffles by topping with chives, cilantro, vegan cheddar cheese, avocado, green onions, microgreens, and more.
- You can make multiple batches and freeze extra waffles to have on hand for an easy breakfast.
- If using a Belgian waffle maker, keep in mind that this will yield pretty big waffles. For smaller waffles, use a dash mini waffle maker or another smaller waffle iron.
