ObiThe Best Crispy Vegan Waffles Recipe
These homemade vegan waffles come out golden, crisp on the outside, and fluffy inside, just like the ones you’d get at your favorite brunch spot. But unlike the ones you get outside, these ones are completely vegan and egg-free and dairy-free, but you’d never know it from the taste.
Making these vegan waffles at home is actually super simple. You’ll use the same set of equipment and ingredients like flour, baking powder, sugar, and non-dairy milk, that you most likely have as a vegan. A splash of vanilla and a bit of apple cider vinegar give them the perfect flavor and texture. The vinegar might sound a bit odd, but it helps the batter rise beautifully.
They cook up beautifully in a regular waffle iron and have that crispy edge that you most likely love. With fresh fruit, maple syrup, or even a drizzle of peanut butter if your vegan waffles could be served.
Let’s get into the actual recipe process of making these crispy vegan waffles.

Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- In a small bowl, combine non-dairy milk and apple cider vinegar. Let sit for 5 minutes to curdle slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Pour in the milk-vinegar mixture, oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth—do not overmix.
- Lightly grease the waffle iron if needed. Pour enough batter to cover the waffle grid without overflowing.
- Cook until golden and crisp, about 4–6 minutes per waffle (time may vary depending on your waffle iron).
- Transfer to a cooling rack if you want them extra crispy, or serve immediately with toppings like fruit, syrup, or nut butter.
