These dairy- and egg-free waffles are both crisp and tender-and so simple to make. Be sure to use refrigerated soy milk instead of the shelf-stable kind: There are fewer additives, which can greatly affect the final texture and taste of a recipe.

| Cook: | 15 min |
| Yield: | about 6 waffles |
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups whole-wheat flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- Kosher salt
- 1 1/2 cups unsweetened soy milk (refrigerated, not shelf stable)
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Cooking spray
- Maple syrup, nut butter or fruit preserves, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F if using to keep cooked waffles warm.
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cornstarch and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the soy milk, oil and vanilla in a medium bowl. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and gently stir until just incorporated (it is OK if there are some lumps).
- Generously spray the top and bottom of the waffle iron with cooking spray. Fill each compartment almost completely, and spread the batter to the edges. Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, 6 to 7 minutes. Keep the cooked waffles warm in the oven or covered with foil on a plate while you make the remaining waffles. Serve with maple syrup, nut butter or fruit preserves.

Reviews
Its not healthy if you add 1/2 cup oil and 1/4 cup of sugar. For 6 waffles.
I think it’s a great base for other customizations of waffles. I made Raspberry Lemon Chia Waffles with this as the base and they turned out great!
They taste good, but are these supposed to be mini waffles? Because it says this recipe makes 6 and I legit got only 2 out of it for a regular sized waffle iron……
Great recipe! They rose up much more than I thought they would. Would reduce the sugar a bit next time but very yummy overall
They were scrumptious! I found this recipe after my mom requested wheat waffles. I did modify the recipe. I’m sure you can tweak it to suit you. I used refrigerated unsweetened almond milk, liquid coconut oil, and split the flour to contain 50% whole wheat & other half regular white flour. I also added a ripe banana.
For my future waffles, I would use less sugar because for me they were a bit on the sweet side (I just added fresh fruit for my topping). I would increase the whole wheat flour used.
Tips/recommendations: be sure to spray waffle iron generously to include both the bottom and top. My 1st batch, portions of the waffles stuck to the iron’s top.
Overall: My family enjoyed them! Thanks for the recipe FN!
Delicious! I used a silicone waffle mould and baked them in the oven, it worked perfectly.
Did anyone try substituting maple syrup or agave for sugar? For those of you that used Stevia instead of sugar, did you substitute an equal amount?
Just made these for the first time today and our entire family of picky eaters LOOVES them. Perfect consistency, crispy on the outside and absolutely delicious. Can’t wait to make them again. We substituted 50% of the sugar with stevia and 50% of the veggie oil with coconut oil with a perfect result. We did have to add a little more milk. Some whole wheat flours are just more absorbent than others…
Fantastic waffles! Delicious, and crispy on the outside while soft on the inside. Important note: DO NOT USE SHELF STABLE SOY (or almond) MILK. I didn’t read the ingredient list closely enough the first time and the waffles were very disappointing. (Imagine a pancake made in a waffle maker – soggy and blah.) Today I gave them a second chance with refrigerated soy milk and they were fantastic – our new go to recipe!
So tasty and so easy to make. <3
The recipe worked out perfectly. I really appreciate that they are crispy.
