Ingredients
Vegan Chocolate Waffles
- 1 15-oz. can coconut milk lite (or sub unsweetened almond milk)
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 2 1/4 cups oat flour
- ¼ cup raw cacao powder
- 1/2 TBSP baking powder
- 2 TBSP pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup nut or seed butter
- ⅓ – ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
Fresh Toppings
- Fresh berries
- Pure maple syrup
Instructions
- Mix the coconut milk and lemon juice together in a small bowl. Set aside for about 5 minutes to make the vegan buttermilk. Next, add in the maple syrup, nut butter, and unsweetened apple sauce. Mix everything to combine. Finally, add in the oat flour, cacao powder, and baking powder, to the same mixing bowl. Use a spatula to gently mix the batter until combined. The batter should be thick and scoopable.
- Turn on and preheat your waffle maker according to which doneness level that you want. Medium heat tends to work well for this recipe.
- Using a ½ cup measuring cup, scoop out some batter and spoon it into the middle of the greased waffle maker. Press firmly to gently close counting to ten, then heat the waffles for 3-4 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and crispy on both sides.
- Remove each waffle and place on a cooling rack to keep them crispy. Continue with the rest of the batter until it’s all used up. The recipe should make 5-6 waffles.
- Serve the waffles warm topped with fresh berries, pure maple syrup, and any additional toppings.
- Store leftover waffles in an airtight container for up to one week and reheat in a preheated oven for ~10 minutes, or until warm throughout.
