    ❤️ You'll Love This Eggless Waffles Recipe

    • Trust me you’ll not notice that these are the waffles without eggs. I am saying because I have eaten and compared both with eggs and without.
    • Many of my readers say they like the egg-free version more than regular.
    • Requires only 6 ingredients (plus salt and water).
    • 1-bowl recipe, the batter is very easy and quick to make (just 5 minutes and waffle batter is ready).
    • If you are vegan, you are in the right place. These are eggless as well as vegan waffles.
    • This is the basic eggfree waffles recipe, you can customize however you like with toppings and add-ons. See the notes below.
    • These are super airy, light, and fluffy from the inside. And yes, crispy on the outside (that’s how we prefer at home).
    • Makes the best weekend family breakfast or brunch.

    🧾 Ingredient For Waffles Without Eggs

    Here is the pic of eggless waffles ingredients. Very few but the result is superb. Go to the recipe card for quantities.

    ingredients in individual bowls for vegan waffles
    • Whole wheat flour: I mostly use the whole wheat flour that I find in American grocery stores. But on occasions, I have tried with Indian chapati atta (b’coz I always have that in my pantry) and it works fine.
      • It gives a slightly nutty flavor and helps to get a golden brown color. 
      • You can substitute the same amount of all purpose flour.
    • Oil: I prefer to use flavorless oil like canola, corn, vegetable, safflower, etc.
      • For some coconut flavor, you can use melted coconut oil.
      • If you do not care for vegan waffles, you can use melted butter here.
    • Sugar: I keep the sugar amount on the lesser side, as we do not like super sweet waffles. You can adjust the amount as per your liking.
    • Water: it has to be room temperature water (not hot, warm, or cold).

    👩‍🍳 How To Make Eggless Waffles? (Stepwise)

    1) Take dry ingredients (all purpose flour, whole wheat flour, salt, baking powder, sugar) in a bowl. Whisk till everything is mixed and incorporated well.

    2) Make a well in the center, add water, oil, and vanilla extract.

    3) Start mixing using a whisk till you get a smooth batter.

    4) Preheat the waffle maker, then pour the batter.

    5) Cook as per your waffle iron’s manual + few more minutes. Why? Always keep in mind these are waffles without eggs, so it takes a little more time to cook and crisp up than the one with eggs. For example, my machine takes 5 minutes for a regular one, so I will cook for 7 minutes for my egg-free waffles.

    6) Remove it and keep on a wire rack (do not stack) and serve. They are best when served right away because as they sit they’ll start to soften and lose those crisp edges. You can see the close-up pic that how light and airy is it from inside.

    Making a bigger batch? Want to keep them warm for longer?

    • While your preheat the waffle iron, also preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
    • Transfer the cooked eggless waffles into the oven rack to keep them warm and crisp.
    • Make sure not to stack them, spread them in a single layer.

    📖 Toppings For EggFree Waffles

    Here are a few ideas, you can share yours in the comment below.

    • Top with fresh berries
    • Classic version a pat of butter and maple syrup
    • Serve with chocolate sauce or butterscotch sauce or Nutella, along with sliced bananas and toasted, chopped nuts.
    • In the fall season, apple butter or pumpkin butter.
    • A very light layer of lemon curd with fresh blueberries
    • You can add chocolate chips into the batter.

    🧇 Storage Instructions For Eggless Waffles

    The leftovers can be stored for later and reheated. Let them cool down completely on a wire rack. Then you can store it in the refrigerator for a couple of days. Or freeze them for a few weeks in the freezer bags (w/ layer of parchment paper between waffles to avoid sticking together). 

    Reheating instructions: You should reheat them in the oven instead of the microwave to get the crisp texture. I recommend placing them right on the oven rack at 250 degrees F (preheated oven) for about 10 minutes. (of course lesser time for refrigerated one vs frozen)

    FAQs

    How do I know when to open the waffle iron?

    Use the machine manual. But let’s be honest who saves that. Here is the best answer - It is generally safe to open the iron once it has stopped steaming. No heavy steams coming out, meaning most of the wet ingredients have cooked and you can open and check on your eggless waffles.

    Do I need to grease the waffle iron?

    It depends, some require and some do not. Get to know yours by sacrificing the first one.

    Why my eggless waffles are soggy?

    Make sure to preheat the iron. When the batter is added to the hot iron, it makes the crispy and not soggy waffles. Actually, you should hear the sizzle as soon as you add the batter to the iron. More in detail: as soon as the batter hits the hot iron, the crust with immediately begin to set and crisp. Also, the moisture from the batter quickly turns into steam and evaporates. If the iron is not hot then none of these will happen and it results in soggy center.

      These waffles are so easy to make and delicious. I usually substitute the water with milk. It makes it richer. Made it multiple times and never fails to impress. No one would realise there is no egg in them. Thank you.5 stars
