Vegan & Gluten-Free Waffle Recipe
This delicious Vegan Waffle recipe is gluten-free and perfect for a lazy weekend morning. They can be served with fresh berries and syrup for the ultimate healthy comfort food.
Recipe Highlights
- Almond milk, coconut oil and flaxseed are healthy, flavorful ingredients that make for a fluffy waffle that is crisp on the outside.
- A touch of maple syrup added to the batter provides just enough sweetness.
- Crispy waffles are comforting and warming. This recipe is gluten-free too!
Recipe Steps
Step One
Combine the flaxseed and water and let it stand for 5 minutes. This mixture will substitute for an egg in the batter. Preheat your waffle maker.
Step Two
Combine the almond milk and the apple cider vinegar in a small cup.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the remaining ingredients and then stir in the flaxseed and almond milk mixtures.
Step Three
Spray your waffle maker with non-stick cooking spray and pour 1/2 cup of the vegan waffle batter. Bake until crispy.
Step Four
Serve with maple syrup, vegan butter, and fruit, or your favorite toppings.
Are Waffles Healthy?
On a clean eating diet, there aren’t black and white rules about which foods are healthy versus unhealthy. Instead, my recommendation is to think about eating whole foods and unprocessed ingredients. Waffles with syrup aren’t as nutritious as my Anti-Cancer Green Smoothie, for example, but waffles every once in awhile are definitely part of a balanced approach.
This vegan waffle recipe is made with wholesome ingredients and can be considered part of a healthy diet. This recipe is also gluten-free and dairy-free, so it is appropriate for a lot of food sensitivities.
Top Tips
- Work in batches and avoid overfilling your waffle iron.
- The batter will make about four large waffles.
- Make the vegan waffles ahead of time. Cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
- Reheat waffles in a toaster or toaster oven until they are warmed through.
FAQs
Can I make these into pancakes instead of waffles?
Yes, you can! Just use a griddle sprayed lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Flip the pancakes once during cooking. Or, try these Rice Flour Pancakes!

Wow, delicious, fluffy waffles! You wouldn’t know they were gluten free! Batter was very lumpy, so I spent a lot of time squishing clumps to mix the dry ingrefients before using. I think it was the coconut oil becoming solid when the cold almond milk hit it. So next time I will try avocado oil.

Hai, what kind of glutenfree flour can I use? All purpose gf or a mix of rice, tapioca and potatoflour?
I used the gluten-free baking flour from Bob’s Red Mill. This recipe is pretty forgiving, though, so you can probably use either one that you mentioned.
