Easy Vegan Belgian Waffles (Fluffy + Crispy)

flax egg

almond milk

lemon juice

whole wheat flour

oat flour (or another cup of whole wheat flour (see note)

baking powder

salt

maple syrup

applesauce

vanilla extract

Whip up your flax egg and creamy vegan buttermilk. Set aside.

Sift all of the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Then, add the flax egg, vegan buttermilk, unsweetened applesauce, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.

Stir with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until the batter is just combined. Do not overmix.

Following the manufacturer&#8217;s suggestion, pour the waffle batter on the Belgian waffle make and let it cook until both sides of the waffle are golden brown. Do not lift up the waffle iron before the waffles are ready, or your waffles will stick.

These waffles turned out INCREDIBLE, thank you so much!!

Kristin, that's great! So glad you enjoyed them and thanks for reaching out. I really appreciate it. Peace.

Made these for breakfast this morning, and OH MY GOODNESS!  Crispy, light, and delicious!  I topped mine with a sliced banana and homemade blueberry syrup.  These will definitely be going in the breakfast rotation.  Thank you, Shane, for another delicious recipe!

Yes, sometimes mine come apart at the seams. I don't think the type of milk should matter. Try adding a little more flour to make the batter a little thicker. That might help. Good lukc!!!

Missy, I think what you need is a good waffle iron. I have the Breville Smart Waffe Pro and I get the most amazing waffles, they come out so easily (you do not need to spray it with oil). It's not a cheap appliance but if you regularly make waffles (which I do on weekends), it's worth the investment. And Shane, thank you for this recipe, I have tried many different recipes, yours is my favorite : )

Just made these and loved them! Great recipe! I did use spray on our waffle maker, but not for every waffle.

That's great, Toniska! So glad you liked the waffles. I think sprays do serve a purpose and have a place in cooking when used very sparingly. It's not something sweat too much and sometimes it's just necessary. And, thanks for the rating! Peace.

Yes. You can use gluten-free oat flour or Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Baking Flour. Should do fine.

First time making waffles at all, and Hubby loved them!  More often they did "split" (we do have an older non-stick waffle maker with a "done" button) with the outside a little more "done" than I'd prefer, but Hubby suggested perhaps I did put too much wet ingredients in... I followed your recipe exactly, with the option of 4 TBSP of the maple syrup... I will make again, because they were really tasty, but will try the 2 TBSP next time, do you think that'll work?  We topped with apples, blueberries and maple syrup, yum!  Thanks!

I made these waffles worried that my son wouldn’t like your vegan French toast casserole on Christmas morning. Turns out he and everyone else loved both! Thank you for the delicious recipe. I still need a non sweet holiday tradition to substitute for the egg casserole that I can preferably prepare the night before though.

Just tried this recipe today and I all I can say is YUM YUM YUM!!!!! I made too much batter. Would it be ok in the fridge for a few days or should I make them and freeze them?

We have made these twice now, in fact they are currently cooking in the waffle iron.  I can't believe they have zero oil and still cook up so beautifully.  I do grease the iron between each waffle but they have the perfect crispness, so good.  We have used both spelt and whole wheat flour.  These will be a waffle staple for us!

I didn't have any whole wheat flour, so I used a mixture of GF buckwheat flour and millet flour. I added a couple tablespoons more of oat flour because the batter seemed too liquidy. These waffles came out amazing! They were sweet but not too sweet and the color/texture were beautiful and crisp. I did use a full cup of batter for a perfect waffle that didn't split. 

Thank you for an oil-free plant-based recipe that I don't feel guilty about!

YUM!!!!    These came out great!  They were a big hit in our waffle loving house honestly better than the recipe we’ve been using for 15 years. So happy to find a plant base recipe for waffles without bananas, a tricky allergy to have eating plant based.

Hi, Erin! Thanks so much and so glad you enjoyed them. Thanks for reaching out.

Love these waffles!   When I make them, I now make a double or triple batch and store them in the freezer. 
 Then the kids can just grab it from the freezer, put it in the toaster and breakfast is served!  This is especially helpful on busy school mornings or when mom just doesn't want to cook breakfast!  Thanks for a delicious recipe and for making our breakfast mornings a bit easier!

The best, as usual. Your recipes are always my go-to recipes for just about everything now. These waffles are wonderful - I'm eating one now. I have a few friends who are finally asking more about plant-based eating, and I always direct them to your website for recipes. Thank you so much!

Another great recipe from Shane. Absolutely incredible. I have not had luck with any other waffle recipe, but these are the best I have ever had. I will definitely be making them regularly.

Wow, that's great Katherine! Hope you enjoyed your time glad you got to be with family.

Hi Shane,
I am so pleased I found your website and all your simple recipes.  I made these waffles this morning and they are so easy and delicious.  I ad them with pear cream, blueberries, passionfruit pulp, banana and maple syrup.  They tasted just as good as the less healthy non plant based waffles!
Thank you for sharing :-)

Thanks so much, Leatha! Honestly, I haven't made the jam with ground up chia seeds. But, I see no reason why it wouldn't work.

Excellent recipe! These waffles are delicious! I will say the yield was different for us, too - as we ended up with like 7 waffles. My family is about one month in on plant-based eating (from omnivore), and your recipes and blog have been super helpful and encouraging. Thank you for that, and keep up the great work! (PLEASE😉)

I cannot believe how great these waffles are. Perfect amount of crispiness on the outside and great flavor. Used Einkorn flour for the whole wheat (one of the ancient grain flours), worked great. Love the flax for added nutrition. We've been making these for several weeks now and are hooked.

I made your Belgian Waffles last night, and we loved them! Who would know they were vegan if you didn't tell. Perfect with real maple syrup. Next time I think I'll add some blueberries. Thank you so much for your wonderful recipes.

Thanks! And, yes, equal to 2 egg replacers.

I have made these before and loved them. But....I've just been told I'm allergic to wheat (not a gluten issue, but a true allergy).  Can I use spelt flour instead, or is there something you can recommend?

I have tried it yet but looks good.... can I make a big batch of the dry mixture and just add all the wet ingredients or do u think it would be better to make a large batch and freeze leftovers?

I've been looking for a good wfpb waffle recipe for a while now. This might be it! I used all spelt flour, added a touch of vanilla &amp; needed about 5 min per waffle in my waffle maker. Nice, crispy, and super airy. It feels like eating a cloud, if that makes sense :-D. Thank you!

Wow, just wow, so flavoursome and delicious and easy to make. I had all ingredients on hand. I followed the recipe apart from using UK cup/tblsp sizes (did not bother to convert) and 2 tblsp of baking powder instead of 1.5. It came out perfectly. I did not have to spray the waffle maker at all, I just made sure it is nice and hot before I made the first waffle. Perfection.

These were a hit! They were easy to make with all the ingredients in my pantry. I added some defrosted frozen berries and top  and they were so good. I am freezing the leftovers so I can just heat up in the toaster.

Finally, the recipe that became successful in making Belgian Waffles that cooked all the way through.  I have been learning how to cook plant-based for the last 20mo and this recipe cooks all the way through.  Was it the applesauce?  I have not used applesauce before bc I didn't have any made.  This time I did. I also coated my waffle surface with the PBV butter (no soy) "Miyokos." Love this product over Earth Balance.  

My granddaughter and Mother even said "these are really good."  Never said it before.

I followed the recipe to the T other than adding a pinch of cinnamon. They did get crispy on the outside but didn’t cook on the inside. I left them in for about 4 minutes too. Tried a few times. Not so sure what a did wrong but ended up throwing out the batter.

I used aquafaba as the egg replacer and made some whipped cream with the leftover, which tasted delicious with strawberries! I will say they didn't have the texture I was hoping for, they didn't get crispy on the outside like other Belgian waffles do and were quite dense, not fluffy. But for something plant based and oil free, I'm impressed!

I make these at least once a week. Thank you so much!!

Made these as stated and they were awesome! Whole family devoured them. Thank you for a great basic waffle with on hand ingredients.

I have made these many times and love them as written. However, last time I didn't have applesauce and used a ripe banana instead. I absolutely loved the banana flavor and they seemed to get crispier. Since I always have frozen bananas, that's what I will use in the future. Thanks for a great recipe!

These were my birthday waffles and they turned out perfect! Slightly crispy on the outside and soft but cooked on the inside. Non-vegan picky eater hubby loved them too! I followed the directions but the only change I made was I used Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 gluten free flour. For the maple syrup, I used 2 TBL. For the flax eggs, I used 2 TBL of ground flax and 5 TBL water. I used my Cuisinart Griddler (regular waffle plates, not Belgian) for the first time and didn’t need to spray the spray the plates with nonstick cooking spray. I set the temperature for 400 and set the timer for 6 min. My Griddler doesn’t emit steam but the 6 minutes were perfect. Will definitely make again—thanks so much!!!

These are now are "go to" waffle recipe!  They taste delicious, are simple to mix up and turn out perfect every time!  Thank you Shane!
