Instructions
Add the 2 tablespoons of distilled white vinegar to a 2-cup measuring cup. Add oat milk or plant milk to fill to the 2-cup line. Stir well to combine and let sit for 3-5 minutes, or until the milk starts to curdle.
Preheat the waffle iron to medium-high heat.
Whisk the dry ingredients (all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, seasonings, and brown sugar) in a large mixing bowl until combined.
Add the eggs, curdled milk, and melted vegan butter to the dry ingredients. Whisk in until no streaks of flour remain.
Once the waffle iron is preheated, spray the iron with non-stick cooking spray and pour in the waffle batter until the waffle iron grids are filled with batter, but not overflowing.
Cook the waffles according to the waffle iron's directions.
Repeat steps 4 & 5 until the rest of the waffle batter is cooked, making about 3 large waffles.
Serve waffles hot with all of your favorite toppings!
Notes
Storage Directions
Refrigeration: Leftover waffles keep covered in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
Freezing: Waffles can also be frozen in a freezer-safe bag in the freezer for up to 3 months. For the easiest de-frosting, store the waffles with small sheets or parchment paper or wax paper between them. Defrost the waffles at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before reheating.
Reheating: Warm up waffles in a toaster oven on medium heat for 1-2 minutes, or until heated through. The waffles can also be warmed on medium heat in the microwave for 30 seconds each.
Recipe Pro-Tips
Gluten-Free: Make gluten-free and dairy-free waffles by substituting 2 ⅔ cup (330g) 1-to-1 gluten-free flour for all-purpose and wheat flour.
All-Purpose Flour: Substitute additional all-purpose flour for the whole wheat flour if desired.
How to Keep the Waffles Warm to Serve: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit and store cooked waffles in it until serving, or for up to 1 hour.
Mix-Ins: Make these non-dairy waffles your own by stirring in ½ cup of any of the following mix-ins to the batter before cooking: vegan chocolate chips, blueberries, diced apples, chopped bananas, etc.
