Perfect for those seeking a dairy-free option, this recipe promises golden-brown waffles with a satisfying crunch and a fluffy interior. Whether it's for dietary preferences, lactose intolerance, or simply because you're out of milk that morning.
Combine all ingredients except for baking powder in a large mixing bowl.
Add baking powder to the mixture and make sure it is fully mixed in. The batter will become a bit fizzy at this point, which is what we want. This will ensure our waffles will have a fluffy texture.
Use a cooking spray of your choice to coat the waffle maker. Alternatively, you can use melted butter or melted coconut oil and spread that on the surface of a waffle maker.
Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. When it's hot enough, pour in ⅓ -½ cup of batter. The amount will vary depending on what size your waffle maker is, I usually do ⅓ cup. Cook the waffles until they become golden brown (it usually takes 4-5 minutes but your waffle maker might require more or less cooking time).
Notes
Use a high heat setting on your waffle maker to make these dairy-free waffles cooked through and crispy on the surface
Don't over-mix the batter if you want your waffles to be light and airy.
When in doubt, cook the waffles for an additional 30 seconds. I find it's better to over-cook them a little than to end up with a gooey inside.
Serve them immediately. If you want the best waffles, it needs to be hot when you dig into it! To keep waffles warm when making a few batches, put them on a plate and cover them with a tea towel to keep them at least warm.
Use a measuring cup to pour the batter into the waffle maker. It makes it less messy than to use a spoon.
