Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups 250g all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1¾ cups unsweetened almond milk or other milk substitute for waffles
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Note: Almond milk works very well but oat milk, soy milk, or even water can be used in this waffle recipe milk free option.

Equipment

  • Waffle maker
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Medium bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Ladle or measuring cup for batt

Method
 

  1. Preheat the Waffle Maker
  2. Preheat according to manufacturer instructions. Lightly grease if needed.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Combine Wet Ingredients
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, almond milk, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
  7. Make the No Milk Waffle Batter
  8. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix—small lumps are fine. Overmixing can make waffles dense.
  9. The texture of the no milk waffle batter should be slightly thick but pourable.
  10. Cook the Waffles
  11. Pour batter into the preheated waffle iron (about ½–¾ cup depending on size). Close lid and cook 3–5 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
  12. Serve Immediately
  13. Carefully remove and serve warm.
  14. Cooking time may vary by waffle maker. Look for steam slowing down and a golden color as doneness cues.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter.
Let the batter rest 5 minutes for better texture.
Cook fully for crispy edges.
Keep cooked waffles warm in a 200°F (95°C) oven.
Use room temperature ingredients for even mixing.
For extra crispiness in your waffles no milk version, cook slightly longer until deep golden.
