Classic vegan waffles, beautifully golden in color and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Delicious with vegan whipped cream, fresh fruit and syrup.
I’ve been a big fan of waffles since I was 14 and working in an ice cream parlour. One of the items on the menu was waffles topped with ice cream.
The batter was pre-made so all I had to do when I received an order was to pour out the batter into the waffle maker and then leave it for a set amount of time, then put it on a plate, top it with soft serve and take it to the customer along with a choice of syrups.
This was my first introduction to the magic of waffles!
As you may already know, I have a serious sweet tooth, so the ice cream parlour job was my favorite of all the jobs I had as a teenager. I also worked in a video store (also fun but it wasn’t ice cream) and as a cashier in a supermarket (least fun).
Sadly, even though it was my fave job, I only worked in the ice cream parlour for a few months. When their busy season was over I was one of the kids they didn’t keep on. The fact that I made quite a few mistakes (that I could then eat in the back) might have had something to do with it. ?
I was also excessively generous on the portion sizes. What can I say? Not much has changed in that respect!
These vegan waffles are just as delicious as those ice cream parlour waffles back in the day! And they’re divine served with vegan whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, syrup, fresh fruit or whatever you fancy.
We went with vegan whipped cream, blueberries, sliced strawberries and maple syrup. It was seriously good.
This is a classic vegan waffles recipe, it’s not flavored any particular way, but the result is vegan waffles that are golden brown, crispy on the outside and beautifully soft on the inside.
These waffles were golden brown in 5 minutes, but we did splash out and get a rather lovely waffle machine! I think a less powerful model might require a little more time, but waffles are one of those things that you generally have to check on as they cook anyway.
I think you will love this classic vegan waffles recipe. The waffles are:
- Golden
- Crispy on the outside
- Soft on the inside
- Delicious with vegan cream or ice cream
- Ideal drizzled with syrup
- Dessert and breakfast in one!
Serve them hot and crispy for the most delicious results.

Turned out great!!! I doubled the ingredients to accommodate our family’s appetite 😁. I substituted hemp milk for regular milk and sunflower oil for coconut oil and they still came out delicious and fluffy. Because of this recipe our dairy, egg, treenut, coconut allergic son can enjoy waffles, so thank you!!!!
★★★★★
Wonderful Ang! So happy to hear that! 🙂
Just made this recipe on the fly this morning for Thanksgiving breakfast. It was a show stopper! They smell delicious as they are cooking and come out with a slight crisp. Next time I might reduce the sugar slightly because adding maple syrup makes them really sweet. Great recipe! Thank you!!!!
★★★★★
Awesome! So glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the awesome review Jessie! 🙂
I’ve never made waffles before but used this recipe as a base and added in protein powder and it was so delicious!
★★★★★
Awesome! Thanks for sharing and the great review Jane. 🙂
Turned out really well but I would have preferred them sweeter. However, I do have a really sweet tooth! I’ll try adding more sugar next time.
★★★★
Hahaha I can relate to the sweet tooth! Definitely tweak it to your preference. 🙂
I made these waffles this morning. They were perfectly crisp- a wonderful breakfast for a fall morning. I got 4 and a half waffles from the batter. Thank you for including mLs and grams in your recipe!
So glad you enjoyed the recipe Kate! 🙂
Just bought my first Belgian waffle maker and u can’t wait to try this yummy recipe! I was sent here by a friend who swears by your recipes. Thank you. 😊

So happy to hear that Sharon! Hope you’ll love the recipe! 🙂
The recipe has become a weekend staple! Thank you so much! We bought a Belgium Waffle maker and hands been experimenting adding berries and making our own fruit topping and using almond milk whipped cream. Yum! 🤤 Love you site!
★★★★★
Wow… this new phone update has made me horrible at texting and leaving messages. Proofreading is good I should totally do that! 🤣
★★★★★
Hahaha! I totally get it, it’s the same on my phone! 🙂

★★★★★
Fantastic! Thanks so much for the great review Sarah! xo
Made this with spelt flour (premium light – Hockley Valley) and in my waffle iron I got 3 not quite full, but perfect, waffles. Easy recipe, followed to the letter (except for using spelt flour) – will be sure to use again! 🙂
★★★★★
Awesome! So glad it worked out perfectly, thanks so much for the great review. 🙂
These are soooo good, Thank you!!!!👍👍
Hi,
Every time I make this recipe I have an issue with the coconut oil clumping because of the cold milk. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Hi there! You can melt the coconut oil first, that should definitely help with that. I usually just use a hand whisk and it all works out. 🙂
Thanks. I do that. A few times I think I’ve added the milk a little too soon after the coconut oil and it’s caused a problem. Right now it’s so hot, we don’t have ac in virginia, my coconut oil is pre-melted! Definitely good for things like this recipe 🙂 but not so much for making pie dough :p
We’ve made this recipe at least once a month since we found it about a year ago, adding chocolate chips occasionally, and we absolutely love it.
Thank you so much. Waffles are our favorite besides French toast 😀 and we couldn’t be happier with this recipe!!!!!
★★★★★
So glad you like the recipe! Thanks so much for the awesome rating! 🙂
Would the recipe still work if I subbed GF flour?
Hi Mia, if you used a gluten-free all purpose blend that is meant to replace regular all purpose flour then I think it would work fine. 🙂
so good and so easy
★★★★★
Awesome! xo
Just made these. Made 2 waffles and a smaller waffle in my deep-dish-style Belgian waffle make.r Used almond milk and coconut sugar but the most transformative addition was an excess of Enjoy Life dark chocolate chips. DELICIOUS! Will definitely be making this recipe again!
★★★★★
Sounds divine! Chocolate chips is a perfect addition. Thanks for sharing and the wonderful review! 🙂
Making this now, so far looks amazing! Has anyone used a great substitute for the sugar? 🙂
Hi Brittany, since it’s in a small quantity, I think you could leave it out if you preferred. 🙂
Use swerve, stevia, or monkfruit like Lakonto.
