Easy, Basic Waffles in the Morning

What you need: 

1 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
berries, to taste, optional
chocolate chips, to taste, optional
1 cup nondairy milk (I use soy)
1/2 cup applesauce

What you do: 

1. Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl with berries or chocolate chips, if using. Mix the wet ingredients in a different bowl. Combine and mix until just mixed up.
2. Preheat waffle iron and spray with some nonstick oil (or wipe down with some oil). That's important cause they stuck like mad to the iron when we made them.
3. Cook according to the waffle maker's instructions, which usually means putting about 1/4 cup batter on the iron, closing, and waiting for a light to go out.
Source of recipe: My gf and I wanted some waffles but most of the vegan recipes we found were not "basic" enough and had all sorts of ingredients we didn't have on hand. We modified a recipe and here it is.

SO HOW'D IT GO?

I too have used this recipe for quite a while-every weekend for the family. I add 1 teaspoon of vanilla and 1 teaspoon of white vinegar. Then I let the batter rest for 10 minutes. Only with both the vinegar and the rest do my waffles come out firm and not limp. I never need to add oil. I have used all kinds of non-dairy milk and all of them work well.

I really enjoyed how simple and easy this recipe was to make. And the waffles came out beautifully--not lacking at all in the flavor department! I used whole wheat flour, and added some raspberries to the batter. Topped with some fresh berries, slivered almonds, and a little maple syrup. Loved it!

I have made this many many times I don't even need to look at the recipe anymore!

I havent tread it with applesauce yet, I've been subbing that in with banana since I always have those lying around. I've also been adding a bit of oil and vanilla extract and some sugar if my banana isn't ripe enough.

Makes amazing Belgium waffles, even the omnivores request them, which is always a reason to celebrate, hooray!

Liked this recipe, dare I say a little too much. If one hadn't stuck I would have finished the whole batch. Very tasty.

I didn't add any berries or chocolate or any thing else.

These were awesome! I used a half of a ripe banana instead of applesauce & added some nutmeg. They didn't stick to the waffle iron which was great. They were light & fluffy. Thanks!!

I loved that these were so easy!  I didn't add any berries or chocolate chips though and they definitely needed a little something extra.  Can't wait to make them again with some additions.

These were really great.  Better than another waffle recipe that I tried from this site.  I took the advice of other reviewers and added vanilla and a tad bit of canola oil.  The flavor was perfect.  My only issues were that the recipe didn't quite make enough for 3 waffles - 1/4 cup was not enough to fill the wafflemaker for a decent waffle (it was more like 1 cup per waffle).  My second issue is that before I could sink my teeth into the waffle it went limp.  I placed the last 2 waffles on a wire cooling rack - Hopefully that will fix that problem.  Next time I will double the recipe and have waffles to freeze.  Really great recipe.  Thanks. ;)b

These were pretty tasty. I added the 1 tblsp of canola oil, 1/8 c. sugar, and probably a teaspoon of vanilla. The rest I kept the same. They were so good we had them for breakfast AND dinner! Fabulous with organic maple syrup.. not floury, they have a nice cinnamon taste that's not overpowering. Very filling. Very easy. Thank you! We have our waffle recipe now :)

They were delicious. I had a blast eating em all up. i added a whole bunch of mixed berries. I realized cherries dont lke being squished.

Like some other commenters, I didnt have any applesauce so I used flaxseed and some oil. I think i should've also added a dash of sweetener since I didnt use the applesauce. Other than that, they were divine.

I didn't have applesauce or plant milk (I even lack ingredients in recipes called 'basic'- how sad), so I used 1/2 mashed banana and water.
I added chocolate chips, a dash of vanilla, and a tbsp oil.  Topped with walnuts and fruit and a tiny bit of maple syrup.
They didn't stick at all, rose well, very yummy :) 

I will definitely make these again-I really want to use pureed pumpkin instead of applesauce, and pumpkin pie spice with the cinnamon, see how it turns out... when fall comes, I just make pumpkin everything :)

Anyways, THANK YOU for the recipe!  ;)b
