What ingredients do I need to make vegan waffles?

You actually only need 5 ingredients to make this delicious vegan waffle recipe; however, there’s 2 optional ingredients that we like, but aren’t necessary. 

The ingredients that you need are:

• flour
• baking powder
• vegan buttermilk (apple cider vinegar + dairy free milk)
• vegan sugar
• unsweetened applesauce
• salt, optional
• vanilla, optional 

How do you make a vegan waffle recipe?

To start you are going to combine your apple cider vinegar with your dairy free milk in order to make vegan buttermilk.  Set that aside for 10 minutes. 

While you want, whisk together your flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt if adding.  Once your buttermilk is ready, add that along with your applesauce and vanilla if adding. 

Fold everything together just until combined, making sure not to overwork it. 

Pour the amount needed according to your waffle maker’s instructions into your heated waffle maker.  Cook according to instructions. 

Repeat with remaining batter. 

Can I make these vegan waffles Top 8 Allergen Friendly?

You can! This recipe is really easy! 

A few things need to happen.   

For milk, you can use any safe milk, but if you want it completely Top 8 free go with an oat milk or flax milk. 

And the flour. You can sub for gluten free flour.  We have tried and found that King Arthur Measure for Measure works the best. Give it a try.
