Instructions

Preheat Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure even cooking and crispy waffles.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined, ensuring an even distribution of leavening agents for proper rise.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine almond milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and ground flaxseed if using. Whisk these wet ingredients together until smooth for uniform consistency.
Combine Batter: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a slightly thick batter ideal for crispy waffles.
Cook Waffles: Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with oil or cooking spray. Using a ladle, pour the batter evenly onto the waffle iron. Cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions until the waffles turn golden brown and crisp on the outside.
Serve: Carefully remove the waffles and serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or vegan butter for a delicious plant-based breakfast.

Notes

For extra binding and nutrition, ground flaxseed is optional but recommended.
Use any plant-based milk if almond milk is unavailable, such as oat, soy, or cashew milk.
Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough waffles; a few lumps are okay.
Waffles are best served immediately to enjoy their crispness.
If you don’t have a waffle iron, you can use a stovetop griddle and shape the batter into pancake-like rounds for a similar result.
