Vegan Double Chocolate Chip Waffles Recipe - Simply Plant Based Kitchen (1)

If you need a good plant based breakfast idea, these Vegan Double Chocolate Chip Waffles may become a new family favorite! Top them with fresh berries for a super healthy start to your morning. These bad boys are oil free and full of fiber!

This easy waffle recipe is vegan & can be made gluten-free

This waffle mix is really easy to make and is already dairy free & egg free. Unsweetened applesauce takes the place of oil and gives it a light sweetness.

These vegan double chocolate chip waffles can also be made gluten free – just use a gluten-free certified flour like oat flour. You can also grind your own old fashioned oats in to oat flour really easily – just put in a high powered blender and blend until a powder forms.

I use whole wheat pastry flour to have a lighter, fluffier texture, but regular whole wheat flour works great too; it’s just more course.

What kind of non-stick waffle maker should I buy?

How many waffles this makes, really depends on the size of your waffle maker. I have a pretty big Belgian Waffle Maker, so it makes 4 large waffles. To make waffles without having to use oil, you’ll want a good non-stick waffle maker. There are now ceramic-coated waffle makers that are non-toxic & non-stick like these.

Use this vegan waffle recipe to make pancakes

Don’t have a waffle maker and want to make pancakes? No problem! Use this exact recipe to make plant based pancakes for breakfast instead.

Pour a 1/4 cup of the batter on to a pan or griddle on medium heat. Don’t let sides of batter touch, so use a large pan to make multiple pancakes at a time. When the edges look dry, flip and cook for about 2 minutes more.

What brand of vegan dark chocolate chips to use

To make these waffles whole food plant based, use vegan DARK chocolate chips. I like the brand The Enjoy Life Dark Chocolate Chips contains only a small amount of sugar & is 69% cacao.

If you find that the batter isn’t sweet enough when leaving out the vegan chocolate chips, you can add 1/4 cup of date syrup or pure maple syrup for added sweetness.

What’s the best WFPB syrup?

The BEST WFPB syrup to use is date syrup! It’s just dates and water blended up, so you get all the nutrition and fiber, and it is lower on the glycemic index than regular syrup.

Many grocery stores now carry date syrup, but you can also buy it online. My favorite is The Date Lady (https://ilovedatelady.com/ – use Promo Code SPBK15 to get 15% off your first order!)

Pure maple syrup is also whole plant food based and the second best option to date syrup because it’s not as nutrient dense.

FAQs

Why do my vegan waffles stick? ›

Try adding more oil to the grids–or add at least some oil if you didn't before, even with a nonstick coating. I find that already-pressurized spray cans of cooking oil work better than the self-fill-and-pump spray cans or applying oil with a paper towel or brush. It's important to have a thin, even coating.

Can I use Pam on my waffle maker? ›

It worked. It didn't stick at all. I Here is the trick to do when you first get this waffle iron. Like another reviewer said, I used the Pam spray before pouring the waffle batter and I also added vegetable oil to the waffle mix.

What is wrong with my waffles? ›

While nailing a waffle's ideal texture is an elusive game, there's one surefire way to mess it up: Using a flour with too much protein structure. This eliminates bread flour, which is great for chewy loaves but too heavy for waffles.

What can I use instead of eggs in waffles vegan? ›

How can you substitute eggs in a waffle recipe? Use 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce, banana puree, milk, water, cream, or other liquid. plus 1/2 teaspoon baking powder per egg. The egg is a leavening agent, as well as a liquid and binder.

Does Eggo have vegan waffles? ›

Kellogg's beloved Eggo brand has partnered with Morningstar's Incogmeato line to launch frozen vegan Chik'n & Waffles.

Are Chick Fil A waffle chips vegan? ›

(The Waffle Potato Chips are vegan-friendly too, in case those are more your speed.)

Why are my protein waffles sticking? ›

Why are my waffles sticking to my waffle maker? Make sure to spray your waffle maker with cooking spray, even if your waffle maker is non-stick. This helps to ensure that your waffles don't stick to the waffle iron.

Should you spray a waffle iron before each waffle? ›

Yes, the waffle iron is nonstick, but you still should hit those plates with either cooking spray, or brush on some neutral oil. I don't recommend butter since it can actually make the waffles stick. You might need to grease the plates before cooking every waffle after that; you might not.
