Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon dried culinary lavender
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar. Mix well.
- Mix batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. A few small lumps are okay.
- Rest batter: Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the baking powder to activate and the flour to hydrate.
- Prepare lavender syrup: While the batter is resting, prepare the lavender-infused maple syrup. In a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup and dried lavender. Heat over low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let it steep while you cook the waffles.
- Preheat waffle iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease if needed.
- Pour batter: Once hot, pour about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of batter (depending on your waffle iron size) onto the center of the waffle iron.
- Cook waffle: Close the lid and cook until the waffle is golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes (time may vary depending on your waffle iron).
- Repeat: Carefully remove the waffle and repeat with the remaining batter.
- Strain syrup: Strain the lavender-infused maple syrup to remove the lavender buds.
- Serve: Serve the waffles immediately, drizzled with the lavender-infused maple syrup.
Notes
- The addition of lavender-infused maple syrup sets this recipe apart from traditional eggless waffles. The subtle floral notes complement the waffle’s sweetness and add a unique, sophisticated flavor profile that elevates this breakfast staple.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
- To make these waffles even fluffier, you can separate the plant-based milk. Use 1 1/4 cups in the wet ingredients, and whip the remaining 1/4 cup with 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Fold this into the batter just before cooking.
- If you don’t have apple cider vinegar, you can substitute with lemon juice.
- For a nuttier flavor, try substituting 1/4 cup of the all-purpose flour with almond flour.
- These waffles freeze well. Cool completely, then store in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months. Reheat in a toaster or oven for best results.
