Egg-less waffles are a bit of a challenge, and while I won’t claim that these waffles are as light and fluffy as a feather, they do a pretty good job of imitating regular ol’ waffles for those of us who don’t eat eggs or don’t want to run to the store in a pinch. I’m still tweaking my recipe, so you might see an updated version on the blog in the future, but for now this is how I make waffles that aren’t tough and won’t stick to the waffle iron like some of my older eggless versions tended to do.
Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 1.75 cups almond milk
- 1/2 cup melted vegan butter or oil
- 2 cups flour
- 4 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tbsp. sugar
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- Strawberries and syrup for topping
In a mixing bowl, combine the banana, milk and oil. In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients and mix well; add to the main mixing bowl and mix lightly. (Overmixing will yield tougher waffles.)
Mist a hot waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray and pour in the batter, about 3/4 cup at a time. (The amount will depend on the size of the waffle iron that you’re using.) Cook until there is no longer steam escaping from the waffle iron or until the waffle is nicely browned and slightly crispy at the edges (about five minutes). Serve topped with butter, syrup and sliced strawberries. Enjoy!

I will have to try these…don’t have a waffle maker, but may try them pancake style. They look delicious!

I hope they work out for you! For pancakes I would add a little more milk or water to thin the batter out a bit…you could also throw in blueberries or diced apples and cinnamon!

I love my waffles airy and slightly crunchy on the exterior, here is one of my recipes I always use to make perfect waffles: http://veganmiam.com/recipes/breakfast/vegan-chai-blueberry-raspberry-waffles. I’ve never used mashed banana before, but that sounds delicious to add to.

That looks yummy. Never had vegan waffles before.

I’ve been on such a waffle kick lately! I figure they’re not totally unhealthy if I top them with fruit. :)
