Equipment

  • Waffle Maker

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 1/3 cup unbleached flour
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda

Flax Egg

  • 1 tbsp ground flaxseeds
  • 2 tbsp water

Soy Milk Mixture

  • 1 cup soy milk
  • 1.5 tsp white vinegar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Banana

  • 2/3 cup banana 1 small to medium very ripe banana, mashed

Instructions

  • Preheat the waffle iron.
    Whisk together all the dry ingredients.
  • In a cup mix 1 tbsp ground flaxseeds with 2 tbsp water to make a “flax egg” and let it sit to thicken.
  • In another dish, mix 1.5 cups soy milk, 1.5 tsp white vinegar, and 2 tsp vanilla extract. Let sit. 
  • Mash banana until smooth.
  • Mix all the liquid ingredients (banana, flax egg, soy milk mixture). Whisk well. 
  • Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly for about 20 seconds. The batter should be fairly thick, thicker than cake batter. Let sit for 30 seconds. 
  • Scoop 1/3 cup of batter (or adjust according to the size of your waffle maker) and add to hot, lightly oiled waffle maker. Make sure not to overfill the waffle maker.
  • Close the waffle maker and cook for 4 - 6 minutes or until waffles are golden brown and cooked through.
  • Oil the maker and allow it to preheat again before adding more batter to make the next batch of waffles. Repeat until all the batter is used up.

Notes

These waffles keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat waffles in the toaster for best results. These really are the best vegan waffles!
