Easy Vegan Waffle Recipe

Make the Flax Egg: Combine the ground flax seeds and water in a small bowl and set it aside until ready to use.

Make the Vegan Buttermilk: Combine the milk and lemon juice and in a small bowl and set it aside for five minutes.

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s directions.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, brown sugar, and cinnamon.

In a small bowl, whisk together the flax egg, vegan buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir just until combined– make sure not to over-mix! A few lumps are okay.

Spray your waffle iron with nonstick spray and add enough batter to fill the waffle iron, leaving about 1” around the edge. In my 8” waffle iron, I use 1 cup of batter. Cook the batter until the waffle is golden brown and crisp around the edges– about 3 minutes.

Repeat with the remaining waffles.

To freeze, allow the waffles to completely cool. Then, place them into freezer bags or another freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 3 months. You don’t have to worry about thawing the waffles, simply reheat them in a toaster or bake them for 10-12 minutes at 350°F in your preheated oven.
