Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder (natural)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent
Wet Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups plant-based milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract (natural)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (natural)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients: Whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder (natural), salt, and natural gelling agent in a large bowl to evenly distribute the rising agents and create a light structure for fluffy waffles.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine plant-based milk, vegetable oil, natural vanilla extract (natural), and maple syrup (natural). Stir until smooth and well incorporated.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold gently with a spatula. Do not overmix; some small lumps are okay to maintain tenderness.
- Preheat and Grease the Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly brush the surface with vegetable oil to prevent sticking and ensure a crispy crust.
- Cook the Waffles: Pour batter onto the center of the waffle iron, spreading slightly to the edges. Close lid and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve Warm and Enjoy: Remove the waffle carefully, place on a wire rack to avoid sogginess, and serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Preheat the waffle iron thoroughly for crisp edges.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep waffles fluffy.
- Use fresh baking powder (natural) for maximum rise and fluffiness.
- Lightly oil the waffle iron surface to prevent sticking.
- Let cooked waffles cool on a wire rack to preserve crispness.
