Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1¼ cups unsweetened plant-based milk (almond, soy, or oat milk work well)
  • ⅓ cup neutral oil (such as sunflower or canola oil)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Flavor Boost
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice or apple cider vinegar (helps with extra fluffiness)
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon for warmth and depth

Method
 

  1. Whisk dry ingredients in a bowl until evenly combined to ensure proper rising during cooking.
  2. Mix wet ingredients separately until smooth and slightly aerated for better texture.
  3. Combine wet and dry mixtures gently, stopping as soon as no dry flour remains.
  4. Preheat and lightly grease waffle iron to prevent sticking and ensure even browning.
  5. Pour batter into iron and cook until golden, crisp, and fully set before removing.
  6. Let waffles rest briefly on a rack before serving to maintain crisp texture.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter, as it reduces air pockets and results in dense waffles instead of fluffy ones.
  • Always preheat your waffle iron fully so the batter starts cooking immediately upon contact.
  • Resting waffles on a rack instead of a plate prevents steam buildup and keeps them crispy longer.
