Calories: 285kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups vegetable milk
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil, melted coconut oil or melted vegan butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the coating
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron according to its instructions.
- In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the vegetable milk and apple cider vinegar. Stir well and set aside for a few minutes to allow it to curdle slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and sea salt until well combined.
- Whisk together the prepared vegan buttermilk, maple syrup, oil or vegan butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and evenly combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Use a spatula or whisk to gently fold and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps in the batter are okay.
- Lightly grease your preheated waffle iron with cooking spray or additional melted coconut oil. Pour enough batter onto the waffle iron to cover the cooking surface, following the manufacturer's instructions for your waffle iron's capacity. Close the lid and cook the waffles until golden brown and crispy.
- In a shallow dish or plate, mix together granulated sugar and ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon sugar coating. While the waffle churros are still warm, gently roll each strip in the cinnamon sugar mixture until coated evenly.
- Serve and Enjoy: They can be enjoyed as is or served with chocolate ganache, caramel sauce, or fruit. Serve them warm.
Notes
How to store
It's crucial to allow the waffles to cool completely at room temperature before storing them. This step prevents moisture buildup and helps maintain their texture. Once cooled, place a sheet of parchment paper between each waffle to prevent them from sticking together. Avoid covering them in granulated sugar and cinnamon if you plan to store them. Transfer the cooled and separated waffles into an airtight container or resealable plastic bag. If you plan to consume the waffles within 2 to 3 days, store them in the refrigerator. For longer-term storage, freezing is the best option.Reheat
When ready to eat, reheat refrigerated waffles in a toaster or oven until warmed. Reheat them directly from frozen in a toaster or toaster-oven, though they may take slightly longer to warm through.Nutrition
