Swedish Vegan Waffles

These classic Swedish Vegan Waffles are a big hit around my house. My two sons were raised on them, as well as all of their friends who enjoyed sleepovers and feasted on them for breakfast the next morning. Originating from my Swedish-born husband’s old family recipe, I put a healthy, 100% plant-based, whole grain spin on these light, fluffy waffles which boast a crisp outer texture. These vegan waffles are simply divine piled high with fresh berries and a drizzle of genuine maple syrup, which is an American nod to the Swedish traditions, in which waffles are usually eaten for lunch or dinner instead of breakfast. With just four ingredients—plant-based milk, white whole wheat four, yeast, and vegan butter—you can whip up the batter quickly, let it rise, and cook this easy vegan waffles recipe in a waffle iron.

Originating from an old family classic recipe, this plant-based waffles recipe is filled with whole grains and can be made with no added sugar.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• 1 ¾ cups plant-based milk, unsweetened, plain (i.e. almond or soy milk)
• 1 1/3 cups white whole wheat flour*

Instructions

1. Heat plant-based milk until it is lukewarm (105-115 F; warm to the touch) over the stove or in the microwave. Do not over heat, as it will kill the yeast.
2. Add the warm plant-based milk to a mixing bowl, along with flour, yeast, sugar (optional), and melted butter. Stir well.
3. Cover with a clean kitchen towel, and allow to rise for 30 minutes in a warm place (try a warm, but not hot, oven).
4. Heat a waffle maker to medium-high setting. Spray with nonstick cooking spray. Pour about 1/2 cup batter onto hot griddle and cook over medium-high setting until done (about 4-5 minutes).
5. Repeat to make all waffles. Makes 5 (7-inch) waffles.
6. Serve immediately with fruit, plant-based whipped topping, jam, or syrup, as desired.

Notes

*White whole wheat flour is ground from a variety of whole wheat that is lighter and more tender. You can also substitute traditional whole wheat flour, or combine half all purpose and half whole wheat flour in this recipe.

To make this recipe gluten-free, substitute gluten-free flour blend for wheat flour.
