This basic waffle recipe is so customizable and so easy to make! It contains no eggs or dairy whatsoever and makes the perfect breakfast fix or even dessert. It’s also quite cheap to make considering you do not need to buy eggs or milk, and perfect for people with intolerances. I make these waffles for breakfast and slather on honey, maple syrup, or my favorite fruit jam.
I have also made them for dessert by pilling up a few scoops of icecream, slicing some fresh fruit, sprinkling shredded walnuts and topping it off with chocolate sauce. You can also add in chocolate chips, or frozen blueberries to make blueberry waffles – just make sure to coat them with a little bit of flour before folding them into your completed batter. Whatever your taste, have a little fun and experiment – I’d love to see what you come up with!
