1/2 canister gfJules™ Pancake and Waffle Mix
1 1/2 cups (202 grams) gfJules™ Gluten Free All Purpose Flour
1 Tbs. plus 1 tsp. granulated cane sugar
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder

3 Tbs. vegetable oil of choice
1 ¼ cups milk, dairy or non-dairy (soy, almond, coconut or dairy) or OWYN protein drink

Steps:

  • Preheat waffle iron to medium-high heat setting. If using eggs: In a small metal bowl, place the egg whites; place the yolks in a separate bowl. Whisk the egg whites until frothy (preferably using an electric mixer). Set aside. In a large bowl, beat egg yolks OR applesauce and oil together (and vanilla extract if making from scratch). In a separate bowl, whisk together all dry ingredients if making from scratch (OR 1/2 can gfJules™ Pancake and Waffle Mix ). Add dry ingredients to the large bowl, followed by the milk or protein drink. Whisk together until only very small lumps remain in the batter, then fold in the egg whites gently, if using eggs. Scoop ½ - 2/3 cup of batter into preheated waffle iron. Spread with a silicone spatula to ensure the mixture is evenly distributed. Close the lid of the waffle iron and cook for 5 minutes or when your iron alerts you that the waffle is cooked. Once cooked, open waffle iron cover and loosen the waffle, if necessary, with a fork or silicone spatula. Remove to a plate to serve or cool while cooking remaining waffles. Serve with confectioner's sugar, syrup or warmed berries. Yield: 6-8 Belgian Waffles, depending on size.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups (250g) flour (spelt, light whole wheat, all-purpose flour, or GF flour blend), see notes
2 tablespoons sugar (coconut, pure cane, or turbinado)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 3/4 cups (403ml) unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1/4 cup olive oil, applesauce (see notes), or vegan butter (I recommend Miyoko's)
pinch of mineral salt, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat waffle maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Also, preheat oven to 200 degrees F., for keeping the waffles warm.
  • In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, oil and non-dairy milk, mix well, until most of the flour lumps are gone.
  • If not using a non-stick waffle iron, spray waffle plate with cooking oil. Using a 1/2 measuring cup (amounts will vary depending on your waffle iron), scoop up batter and pour in the center of waffle plate. Close the cover and cook as directed by manufacturer's instructions. For crispier waffles, let cook 5 - 12 seconds longer, depending on your waffle iron.
  • Gently remove with the tip of a fork and place on a wire rack in the oven until the remaining waffles are made.
  • Pair your waffles with fresh blueberries, strawberries, raspberries or blackberries, and top with pure maple syrup or this easy homemade Blueberry Compote. You may even like to drizzle with vegan chocolate syrup and add a dollop of whipped coconut cream.
  • Makes 4 - 5 waffles.
  • Leftover waffles can be kept in the refrigerator for up to a week, or store in the freezer for up to 1- 2 months. When ready to eat, pop them in the toaster oven. Larger batches can be warmed in a preheated oven set to 350 degrees for 10 - 15 minutes, using a greased or lined baking sheet.

LIGHT & CRISPY VEGAN WAFFLES



Light & Crispy Vegan Waffles image

The best vegan waffle I've had. Golden-brown, crispy, light, tender, full of flavor (especially with those appealing vanilla bean flecks). Plus, only 6 ingredients and 1 bowl!

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 14-ounce can full-fat coconut milk (about 1 3/4 cups)
1 vanilla bean
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt (I like fine-grain sea salt for this recipe)
Your favorite cooking spray (if needed (I have a non-stick waffle maker so I don't need or use any spray))
Pure maple syrup
Butter (or vegan butter)
Fresh berries

Steps:

  • Preheat your waffle maker.
  • If the coconut milk is solidified, place it into a small saucepan and set over low heat. Heat just until liquid, but not warm.
  • Pour coconut milk into a large mixing bowl. Scrape the pulp of the vanilla bean into the coconut milk (discard the pod) or add vanilla bean paste or extract. Stir to combine.
  • Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir gently with a wooden spoon just until combined (if you overmix, you risk making the waffles tough; don't worry, a few lumps are okay).
  • Spray your preheated waffle maker with cooking spray, if using. Pour batter into your waffle maker according to manufacturer instructions, as waffle makers vary. My waffle maker takes a heaping 1/3 cup per side.
  • Cook until golden brown, as per your individual waffle maker.
  • Serve with pure maple syrup, butter (or vegan butter), fresh berries, or anything else you'd like!

Tips:

  • For a crispier waffle, cook it for a few extra minutes.

  • If you don't have a waffle iron, you can cook the batter in a greased skillet over medium heat.
  • To make sure the waffles are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the waffles are done.
  • Serve the waffles immediately with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, butter, fruit, or whipped cream.
