Amazing Vegan Waffles can be a little hard to come by. I have tried a LOT of recipes and it usually lacks a little something. These Vegan Waffles are not lacking in anything.
They have that crispiness you want in a waffle, they are thick, sweet, but not overly so, fluffy and just all-around a tasty breakfast option, or breakfast for dinner.
I love breakfast for dinner. Anyone else like breakfast for dinner?
My kids absolutely devour these vegan waffles. There are rarely leftovers. These don’t make a ton of waffles, but our Belgian waffle iron is pretty big and these make 5 good sized waffles.
These vegan waffles use flax eggs as it’s
If you have never worked with flax seeds as an egg
We ate these with good old maple syrup, but any syrup would be good. You could use berries and whip cream. Ah man, a Strawberry and whip cream waffle sounds amazing about right now. Mmmmm
What do you need for these waffles?
- flax eggs (2 TB flax meal 4 TB water)
- baking powder
- all-purpose flour
- salt
- white sugar
- vanilla extract
- neutral oil
- plant milk
How do you make them?
Start by heating up your waffle iron (I used a Belgian waffle iron.
Mix your Flax egg and set aside
Mix your dry ingredients with a whisk. Then add your wet ingredients, including your flax egg. Whisk until it’s incorporated.
Spray your waffle iron with cooking spray to prevent sticking and pour about 1 cup (depending on the size and instructions of your waffle iron) of batter and cook 1.5 to 2 minutes before flipping it to the other side and cook another 1.5- 2 minutes.
These are best eaten when fresh.

Tried these for dinner tonight and loved them…even my husband who was hesitant I use flax eggs loved them! (He didn’t realize eating vegan could be so tasty.) The batter seemed too runny however, (I should have added the milk a little at a time and stir-had toddler helping so was trying to be quick) so I added a little flour to help. I think this affected the texture it was supposed to be but they were still good! Also, I used a small waffle iron and it made at least 10, probably more.
Yay! I am so glad they worked out for you. I am glad he enjoyed them also! Thanks so much for letting me know Aimee! ❤
I dont have any flax, but would chia egg work too?
Hi Yasmin! I have never tried chia seed, but likely any egg replacer would work. Let me know how it turns out if you try it! ❤
It works! I didn’t have flax seed so I used 1 tablespoon chia seeds soaked in 3 tablespoons water. They came out great!
Thanks so much for letting me know Alisa! It’s great when a lot of alternatives work! ❤️
Found this recipe on Pinterest and I just made these – they are great! Love that all the ingredients are simple. The only change I made was to use half the sugar as I knew we were going to pour on the maple syrup afterward, ha! They were delicious and I will be making again. Thanks, Courtney! 🙂
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment Jessica! I am so glad you enjoyed them as much as we do! Good call on the less sugar! Thanks again, Jessica! ❤❤
Hoping this only goes through once :). The recipe looks great, I am hosting a brunch party – does the batter keep well (so guests can make as they are needed) or would you recommend making a large batch and keeping warm until all are done before being put out on the buffet table?
Appreciate the reply
Hi Caroline! The batter actually works well in the fridge! I have a friend who loves these and her husband always keeps a batch in the fridge for her and she just makes them fresh in the morning. I hope your brunch turns out fantastic! ❤️
Found this recipe on Pinterest and I made it exactly the way the recipe directed…and they were PHENOMENAL! I will definitely make these again – my three kids (7, 5, 3) loved them.
Thanks so much for trying them Alisha! And for letting me know, I so appreciate it! I am glad your family loves them as much as we do! ❤️❤️
I made these this morning with no substitutions and they turned out great! My husband mentioned several times how good they were. I will definitely be making them again. Thanks!
Thanks so much for trying them and taking the time to comment Elle! My husband has the same reaction! ❤️❤️
Hi! Is neutral oil just any oil we have on hand? Should I avoid a certain type? Thanks! Can’t wait to try these.
Hi Kaitlin! A canola or vegetable oil would work best! Just don’t use like an olive oil. I hope you guys love them! ❤️❤️
This is the first vegan waffle my daughter has tried and she loved them! I’ve tried two other recipes with no success, and almost gave up on them. She has a dairy, egg, and tree nut allergy. Thank you so much for a great waffle the flaxseed made all the difference! Can we freeze or refrigerate for next day?
Hi Desiree! I am SO glad to hear the waffles worked for your daughter! They taste best the day they are made, but they can be frozen and toasted. You can also place the batter in the fridge for a few days and make one at a time fresh. I hope that helps and thanks for the feed back! ❤️
Can applesauce replace oil for oil free?
Hi Jean, I did try it one time and the flavor was good but they stuck to my waffle iron. But every waffle seems to stick to mine, I think I need a new one. It would be worth a shot if you have a really good waffle iron. Thanks for stopping by and let me know if you try it! ❤️
So , so good. I have to figure out why mine kept separating. Any thoughts?
Hi Uraina! I’m sorry that’s happening for you. This happened with my old waffle iron, when I got a new one it was fine. I’m not sure why it’s doing that. The only other thing I can think of if you’re opening it too soon and it’s not all the way cooked together yet? Sorry I am not a ton of help! ❤️
Hi, so excited to try these! Can I use an all purpose gluten free blend flour with this recipe?
Hi Alyssa! I have never tried it, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. ❤️ thanks for stopping by!
Hi, I just tried this recipe for the first time and oh my, is it good! I used Trader Joe’s gluten free flour and the waffles turned out amazing! I’ve used other recipes with other gluten free flours and have always been disappointed. I will have to figure out how to cut down on the oil with this one though because I’m really trying to cut down on oils.
Hi Sylvia! I am so glad that it was tasty for you. Thanks so much for letting me know! You can try to use apple sauce in replacement of the oil or at least half of it. Some readers have had some good luck with doing that. It won’t be as delicious because oil brings so much flavor. But it should still be good. I don’t eat a lot of oil either. I have tried half apple sauce and half aquafab but my waffle iron made it stick and I never tried it again. Let me know if the applesauce works! ❤️
