How To Make Vegan Waffles – Easy Vegan Waffle Recipe
1. STEP: Combine all ingredients for the vegan waffles in a medium bowl.
2. STEP: Using a hand whisk, stir well until all lumps are removed. The batter will be quite thin. Don’t worry, that’s normal!
3. STEP: Heat your waffle maker and grease it with coconut oil or canola oil on both sides (top and bottom). Pour the batter with a ladle into the waffle iron. It depends on your waffle maker how much batter you need, so check the manufacturer instructions.
4. STEP: Close your waffle maker and bake the waffles for about 5 minutes until they’re golden and crispy on the outside. Don’t open the waffle maker too early.
5. STEP: Serve the waffles immediately with maple syrup and berries or other fruits. Enjoy!
Vegan Waffles – Recipe Notes:
- It depends a bit on your waffle maker how long the waffles take. Mine took about 5 minutes, but they can also take up to 7 minutes. Make sure not to open the waffle maker too early. Many waffle irons have a green light, which tells you when the waffles are ready.
- I recommend checking the manufacturer instructions to see if you have to grease your waffle iron or use a non-stick spray. Some require it and others don’t.
- I usually use coconut oil for my waffles, but the recipe also works with canola oil or melted vegan butter or margarine.
- Don’t worry if the batter will be quite thin. That’s totally normal!
- With my waffle iron, I got six large waffles out of the waffle batter. Depending on the size of the waffle maker you use, you might get more waffles out of this recipe.
- I used almond milk for my waffles, but the recipe also works with soy, oat, or cashew-based milk. So feel free to use any plant-based milk you like!
Vegan Waffles – FAQs:
Can I make these vegan waffles gluten-free?
Yes, absolutely no problem! I recommend using a gluten-free flour blend if you want to make these waffles gluten-free. Buckwheat flour will probably also work well, but I haven’t tried this yet. So let me know if you give it a try!
Can I freeze these waffles?
Yes, these waffles freeze really well.
Just follow these three easy steps when freezing waffles:
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place the waffles on top.
- Put the baking sheet in your freezer until the waffles are fully frozen. This will take about two hours.
- Then transfer the frozen waffles to freezer bags or containers.
They will last in the freezer for 3-4 months or even longer. To reheat them, just pop them in the toaster until they’re warm and crispy! So easy!
Is it possible to add any add-ins?
Sure! If you want to change up the recipe a bit, you could add:
- mini chocolate chips (about 1/4 cup)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 2 tablespoons finely chopped apples
- a handful of blueberries or raspberries

Nutrition
Based on feedback from several people I made sure the waffle iron was really hot before starting and I let the batter sit for at least 15 minutes before I started. I used Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free baking blend and I sprayed the waffle iron for each waffle.
Thanks for the great recipe!
Making this now, so far looks amazing! Has anyone used a great substitute for the sugar?
Holy moly, these turned out sooooo delicious!! Perfect Sunday morning breakfast! And I love how easy the recipe is!
So yummy!! I made them for my two boys (5 and 7) and myself and we all loved them! Next time I’ll double the recipe and freeze some for later. These vegan waffles are definitely 5 stars!! Thanks!
Just had them for breakfast with maple syrup and raspberries! So good!
These were fantastic!! My kids were not fans of other vegan waffle recipes I tried but absolutely loved this one! My pickiest eater asked while making them, “What smells so good?!” I subbed avocado oil instead of coconut oil (due to said picky eater’s discriminating taste buds), and I added a flax egg. Just perfect, and easy to freeze and reheat in the toaster for a quick breakfast
Did you add a flax egg instead of apple sauce??
