Classic Vegan Waffles
Author: 
Yield: 10 to 12 (3 x 3-inch) waffles
 
Ingredients
  • 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons granulated organic sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 cup nondairy milk
  • ½ cup aquafaba (see Note)
  • ¼ cup canola or other neutral oil
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
  1. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk or sift to distribute the ingredients equally.
  2. Combine the milk, aquafaba, oil, and vanilla in a small bowl and mix well. Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and whisk gently into a smooth batter. Set the batter aside to hydrate while the waffle iron heats up.
  3. Heat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and add the required amount of batter to the hot iron (usually about 1 cup of batter). Cook until the desired doneness is reached and transfer the waffles to a wire rack. The waffles will become crisp in about 30 seconds. Serve hot.
Notes
Although aquafaba is best if homemade using the recipe provided in the book, you can use aquafaba from canned chickpeas. Use the organic, low-sodium, canned chickpeas and strain off the liquid into a measuring cup using a fine mesh strainer. Note the amount of liquid you acquired, then add it to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the liquid reduces by ⅓. Cool the aquafaba completely before using.
