Can I make the batter ahead of time?

While this isn't ideal, you can mix the batter up to 24 hours in advance and store it covered in the refrigerator. Waffles will have a slightly altered texture.

What’s the best nondairy yogurt to use?

Thick, unsweetened nondairy yogurt (such as soy, cashew or coconut) works best for structure and richness.

Can I freeze vegan waffles?

Absolutely. Let waffles cool completely, then freeze in a single layer before transferring to a freezer-safe bag.

How do I reheat waffles?

Reheat in a toaster or oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through and crispy again.

Why aren’t my waffles crispy?

Make sure your waffle iron is fully preheated and avoid stacking cooked waffles, which traps steam.

Can I make these waffles oil-free?

Yes, but the waffles will be softer. You can reduce or omit the vegan butter and lightly oil the waffle iron instead.

Instructions

Mix: In a large bowl whisk together the all purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add nondairy yogurt, nondairy milk, melted vegan butter and vanilla extract to the bowl. Whisk until just combined. Do not over-mix. It's ok if there are still some lumps in the batter!
Heat: Plug in your waffle iron and begin to preheat. It is best to do this after making your batter so it gets that time to rest. It should rest about 10 minutes prior to use to allow the gluten some time to activate.
Cook: Cook waffles in waffle maker according to manufacturer instructions. Continue process until all batter is used up. Serve immediately with maple syrup, vegan butter and/or fruit.
