B’s Simple Vegan Waffles may be simple to prepare with ingredients you likely already have on hand, yet they are anything but simple when it comes to flavor! They are light and fluffy on the inside, perfectly crisp on the outside, and are a fast and delicious breakfast, lunch, or dinner option.
Early Saturday mornings would not be the same around here if our kids weren’t in the kitchen whipping up a batch of these delicious waffles with daddy. Not to mention, this mommy gets a hot coffee break, which is a huge win in my book! Thankfully, this recipe is kid friendly and super easy to make. We love to serve our waffles up with fresh berries, a sprinkle of hemp seeds, the occasional spread of almond butter, and a drizzle of pure maple syrup.
Our family loves them so much, we typically make a double, or even triple batch of these delicious waffles and freeze them for a fast and healthy snack on-the-go during the week. Let’s be honest, what parent is not on the hunt for a quick snack their kids will love, packed with ingredients we can feel good about?
Now break out that waffle maker and let’s make some waffles!
B’s Simple Vegan Waffle Ingredients
Ready to cook some yummy waffles? Here is what’s in this recipe:
- Flax seed and warm water – The perfect consistency to add moisture and stability without using an egg. Plus, why not add the nutritional benefit of flax seeds, as they are high in fiber and omega-3s.
- Mix of whole wheat pastry and all-purpose flour – For an accurate measurement, scoop and level off your flour by scraping a knife across the top. Try not to pack the flour in by shaking it down after scooping as this will add too much flour.
- Pure cane or coconut sugar – It adds just a touch of sweetness.
- Baking powder – For light and fluffy waffles.
- Almond milk, warmed – Any milk will work in this recipe. Make sure it’s warmed to room temperature prior to adding it to your waffle batter.
- Plant-based butter or coconut oil, melted – Creates moisture on the inside and that crispy edge along the outside of your waffles.
- Vanilla – For a delicious and warm depth of flavor.

How To Make B’s Simple Vegan Waffles
The best part about this waffle recipe, is it is simple to make for the entire family.
I am not going to lie to you, my husband is the expert waffle maker in our house, and he typically involves the kids, which creates lasting memories for them of our lazy Saturday mornings. To be honest, those are getting fewer and farther between as they get older.
First things first, make your flax eggs. In a medium bowl, combine ground flax seeds with warm water and stir. Set aside.
Then, make your waffle batter. In a large bowl, stir together dry ingredients. To the medium bowl with flax eggs, whisk together the remaining wet ingredients.
Create a well in the dry ingredients and add your wet ingredients, whisking batter briskly until well combined.
Next, cook your waffles. Preheat your waffle maker according to instructions. When it is hot and ready, ladle or scoop up enough of your waffle batter to create your first waffle. We love to make it super simple for our kids so we use a large ice cream scoop. It works perfectly! You may need a different amount depending on the size of your waffle maker.
Cook waffles until light and fluffy on the inside, with crispy edges around the outside. Our waffle maker will beep when they are finished, roughly 4 minutes or so. Then, continue making waffles until your batter is gone.
Add your favorite toppings and enjoy!
Topping Ideas For B’s Simple Vegan Waffles
A spread of toppings on the kitchen table is my favorite part about Saturday morning waffles! Here are a handful of ideas to get you inspired:
- Fresh berries or sliced banana

- Dollop of yogurt or vegan whipped cream
- Favorite nut or seed butter (almond butter is our favorite)

Decide to make a triple batch or couldn’t devour all of your waffles for breakfast? No problem! Store leftovers in the freezer for up to 2 months. We love to reheat them in the toaster for a quick breakfast or dinner option later in the week, or toss them in a bag for a quick and healthy snack on-the-go.
