Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon natural baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent
Wet Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups unsweetened plant-based milk
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons natural maple syrup
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prep the Batter: Whisk together the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, natural baking powder, salt, and natural gelling agent in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the unsweetened plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar, natural maple syrup, vegetable oil, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, and natural vanilla extract. Gently mix the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined to form a light batter without overmixing.
- Heat the Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease the plates with vegetable oil to ensure the waffles do not stick and develop crispy edges.
- Cook the Waffles: Pour enough batter onto the waffle iron to cover the surface without overflowing. Close the lid and cook for 4 to 6 minutes or until waffles turn golden brown and crisp at the edges. Cooking times may vary based on your waffle iron.
- Serve and Enjoy: Carefully remove the waffles with a non-metallic spatula and place them on a wire rack to prevent sogginess. Serve them warm with your favorite toppings or any of the suggested variations.
Notes
- Preheat the waffle iron thoroughly for optimal crispiness.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep waffles fluffy.
- Use fresh natural baking powder and gelling agent for best rise and texture.
- Allow the batter to rest for 5 minutes to activate the natural gelling agent fully.
- Keep cooked waffles warm in a low oven to maintain crispness until serving.
