Ingredients:
For the Wafer Batter:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar (ensure it’s vegan—some sugars are processed with bone char)
1/2 cup vegan butter (or neutral oil like canola or melted coconut oil)
1/2 cup unsweetened plant milk (such as almond, soy, or oat milk)
2 tablespoons aquafaba (the liquid from canned chickpeas) or 2 flax eggs (2 tbsp ground flaxseed + 6 tbsp water, mixed and left to gel for 5–10 min)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
A pinch of salt
For the Wafer Filling (Optional):
Vegan chocolate ganache (made with dairy-free chocolate and plant milk)
Fruit jam
Coconut whipped cream or other vegan whipped topping
Instructions:
Preheat the Waffle Iron:
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease with non-stick spray or a bit of oil.
Prepare the Wafer Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the aquafaba (or flax eggs), melted vegan butter, plant milk, and vanilla. Whisk until well combined.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir until smooth, but don’t overmix. A few small lumps are fine.
Cook the Wafers:
Spoon a small amount of batter into the preheated waffle iron. Cook until golden and crisp, as per your waffle iron’s instructions.
Cool the Wafers:
Carefully remove and place on a wire rack to cool and crisp up further.
Add Optional Filling:
Once cooled, optionally spread a vegan filling between two wafers to make sandwich cookies.
Serve and Enjoy:
Crisp, golden, and entirely plant-based—perfect for snacking or dessert!
