    Can I make these vegan waffle cones top 8 allergen free?

    The only ingredient in this recipe that is a Top 8 Allergen is flour. You can sub for a gluten free flour.

    We have had the best results with one like King Arthur Gluten Free Measure for Measure.

    Making this swap will make Top 8 Allergen Free Cones.

    Can I prep these vegan ice cream cones ahead of time?

    Yes, but not for long. Vegan waffle cones are best served immediately; however, if you store them in an air tight container, you could use them within 24 hours. After that, they get too soft.

    What type of appliance do I need?

    If the video, we are using the Koji ice cream cone maker.

    You could also use a pizzelle maker if you have one of those.

    We prefer the ice cream cone maker because it comes with a rolling pin to make it easier to shape.

    What if I don’t have one of those appliances?

    If you don’t have one of these, you can preheat an oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

    Spread 3 tablespoons of mixture into a circle on the baking sheet approximately 7 inches wide.

    Bake for 8-10 minutes.

    Proceed to roll up into a cone.

    Course: Dessert
    Cuisine: American
    Servings: 6 Cones
    Calories: 168kcal

    Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoon chia seeds (can sub with ground flax seeds)
    • 7 tablespoon water, divided
    • ⅔ cup flour (sub for GF flour if needed)
    • ½ cup vegan sugar
    • 1 pinch salt
    • 2 tablespoon canola oil (sub for melted vegan butter or another neutral oil)
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

    Instructions

    • Place chia seeds and 6 tablespoon of water into a small bowl. Stir together well. Let sit for 10 minutes until it becomes gelatinous.
    • In a bowl, add the flour, sugar and salt. Stir together.
    • Once ready, add the chia seed mixture and stir until almost no dry mixture remains.
    • Add in the remaining 1 tablespoon of water, oil and vanilla.
    • Stir until well combined.
    • Heat your ice cream cone maker (see post for instructions if no ice cream cone maker).
    • Once heated, add a little less than ¼ cup mixture to the center and spread out slightly to ensure it's in a complete circle.
    • Close the machine and cook according to the instructions.
    • Once done, quickly but carefully fold into a cone shape with the shaping tool provided.
      *These are very hot and we prefer to lay on a towel and shape that way so that there is less heat directly on our hands.
    • Continue until no batter remains.

    For Waffle Bowls

    • If you want to make waffle bowls instead of cones, repeat the instructions until you get to the shaping. Place disc in a small bowl and then put a small bowl inside that to hold for 2 minutes until shape is set. See video for visual.

      Made this using ground flax instead of chia because that’s what I had and used a waffle cone maker. Tasted great! Definitely going to bookmark and make again. I’ve been looking for a vegan waffle cone recipe for a while – thanks for posting this! New to your site but I love it.
