Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 1 3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour ((unbleached all purpose flour is a fine substitute. Or use half whole wheat flour and half APF))
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 ¾ cups nondairy milk ((or any nondairy milk))
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp flaxmeal
  • ½ cup vegan yogurt ((replace with ¼ cup applesauce and ¼ cup more milk))
  • Cooking spray or vegetable oil ((for spraying on the wafflemaker plates))
  • Fruit ((berries, bananas, peaches, plums are all great toppings for waffles))
  • Maple syrup

Instruction

  • Whisk the dry ingredients -- flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt -- in a large bowl.
  • Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl and mix until everything's moistened and there is no dry flour visible, but don't overmix. Some lumps are fine.
  • Heat a waffle iron and spray with cooking spray or brush on oil.
  • Add batter according to the size of the waffle maker you have. I use a half cup measure for my regular six-inch waffle maker, and a cup for my Belgian waffle maker. Pour enough batter so it is almost but not quite all the way to the edges. This is because the batter will spread because of the weight of the lid when you close the waffle maker. If you add too much batter it could overflow!
  • Choose the right heat setting. Waffle makers of different brands have different settings. I have Cuisinart waffle makers for both regular and Belgian waffles and I set both to level 3 (out of 5) for most waffles. You can choose a higher setting for a crisper waffle and a lower setting for softer waffles.
  • Close the lid and wait for the green indicator light to turn on before trying to remove the waffles. If they don't release easily with a slight nudge of a spoon or fork close the lid and let them go a bit longer.
