Makes: 6-8
Ingredients
For the waffles:- 300ml dairy-free milk of choice
- 1 tsp. lemon juice
- 115g whole wheat flour
- 75g Natural Vanilla Vegan Blend
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 2 tsp. cinnamon
- 50ml Coconut Oil (melted)
- 50ml Maple Syrup or honey
- 100g vegan cream cheese
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract or 10-12 drops Vanilla Flavdrops
Method
For the waffles:1. First, combine milk and lemon juice in a medium-sized bowl to make your own buttermilk.
2. Next, combine flour, Vegan Blend, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl.
3. Add the maple syrup to the milk mixture, then pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and whisk. Add the melted coconut oil and whisk until no lumps remain. Set aside for 5-10 minutes.
4. If using a waffle iron, preheat it and coat with oil spray, then cook according to your waffle iron instructions. If using a silicone waffle mould, preheat your oven to 220°C or 200°C for fan-assisted. Pour the batter into the mould and place a baking sheet on top, with a weight like an oven-proof dish on top so the waffles don’t rise. Bake for 9-10 minutes or until golden brown at the edges.
For the topping:1. To make the topping, simply whisk together vegan cream cheese and Flavdrops. Add enough Flavdrops to your desired sweetness.
