Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Cup Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
- ½ Tsp Baking Powder
- ½ Tsp Baking Soda
- 2 Tsp Gingerbread Spice (or 1 Tsp Ground Ginger, 1/2 Tsp Cinnamon, 1/4 Tsp Ground Cloves, 1/4 Tsp Ground Nutmeg)
- 2 TB Blackstrap Molasses
- 1 TB Dark Brown Sugar Sweetener (or preferred dark or light brown sugar)
- 1 Tsp Pure Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Extract
- 1 Cup Unsweetened Non-Dairy Milk
- 1 Tsp White or Cider Vinegar
Instructions
- Grease and preheat your waffle maker.
- In a small bowl, mix together the non-dairy milk and vinegar so it has time to sit and "curdle".
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and spices together until smooth.
- Add in the molasses, brown sugar, and vanilla. Use a fork to distribute the sticky sweetener into the flour until clumpy.
- Pour in 3/4 cup of the prepared vegan buttermilk and mix the batter smooth. If the batter is too thick, add a tablespoon more of the buttermilk as needed.
- If using a mini waffle maker, add ¼ of the batter to the hot waffle maker and allow it to cook before removing and repeating the process for the rest of the batter (a total of 4 waffles). If using a standard waffle maker, add ½ the batter to the hot waffle maker, allow it to cook, and repeat (a total of 2 waffles).
Notes
- You'll make more vegan buttermilk than is needed, so you should have a few tablespoons left over.
- To store leftovers: Wrap cooled waffles in paper towels before storing them in an airtight container or Ziplock bag in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Reheat them in a toaster or larger batches in the oven at 350°F.
- To freeze leftover waffles: Allow your waffles to cool completely to room temperature in a single layer on a wire rack. Wrap them individually in wax paper and place them in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 6 months.
- To reheat waffles: Take frozen waffles directly from the freezer and pop them into your toaster or, for larger-sized waffles, you can toast them back up in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes (flipping halfway through).
