Best Ever Gluten Free Vegan Waffle

These vegan gluten free waffles even better than regular waffles, but are made with no gluten, eggs, or dairy. They have a slight crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. They are so easy to make, all you need is a blender and a waffle machine.

  • These gluten free vegan waffle have perfectly crispy edges with a warm and soft texture when you bite into it. 
  • (serves 8)
  • Ingredients 
  • 2 cups gluten free oat flour** (or buckwheat flour)
  • 2 cups almond flour 
  • 4 tbsp tapioca starch (or arrowroot)
  • 2 tsp baking flour 
  • 1 tsp pink salt 
  • 2 tbsp ground flax or chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice 
  • 2 & 1/2 cups plant milk 
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (or avocado, coconut oil)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce ***
  • (optional toppings: berries, maple syrup, vegan butter, almond butter, vegan yogurt)

  • Method

  • 1. Preheat waffle maker. 

  • 2. In a high speed blender, combine milk, vanilla, lemon juice, unsweetened apple sauce, olive oil and let them sit for 5 minutes. The lemon will curdle with the milk, making a type of vegan buttermilk. 

  • 3. In the blender, add the rest of the dry ingredients with the wet  mixture. Blend on high speed. 
  • 4. The batter should be thick. If its too liquidy, add a little oat flour. If its too thick, add a little more plant milk. 
  • 5. Poor around 1/4 cup of mixture to the waffle griddle, spread batter and let it cook for around 3 minutes or until golden. 
  • 6. Serve with fruits and maple syrup, yogurt. I like to eat waffles with organic butter, eggs and maple syrup and a few steamed greens! It sounds odd but the salty and savory combo is delicious!

  • ***Oat flour: To make gluten free oat flour, simply blend gluten free rolled oats in a high speed blender or coffee grinder. Oat flour can easily be replaced with buckwheat flour in this recipe. 
  • ***Applesauce: Most grocery stores sell organic unsweetened applesauce (see kids snack or cans). Its also super easy to make at home. Just chop a couple apples with enough water to cover, then simmer on low heat for 15 minutes, with a cinnamon stick or powdered cinnamon. Let it cool and blend in a high speed blender or food processor.
