I have eaten waffles with eggs too. So I can say after eating this waffles. You will not realize that it is eggless or vegan.

There is only one difference and that is cooking time. Keep in mind that any eggless or vegan waffles take little extra time to cook. So always cook few minutes longer than mentioned in waffle iron manual.

So finally I am here with eggless waffle recipe. It is requested by one of my readers few weeks back. I know I am little late. But I come up with the best vegan waffle recipe. I made these delicious egg-free waffles yesterday, took some pics. Today I am sharing with you guys.  I am making waffles using this recipe since last 4 years (or I can say before I started blogging).

When I was in India I have never eaten or heard about waffles. After coming to USA, First time I tasted waffle in our local restaurant. That was loaded with calories. Seriously so much whipped cream on top. Oh that was not breakfast, it was kind of dessert. Dear husband does not eat eggs. So I have come up with this recipe after so many trials and errors. Now he can also enjoy waffles.

I like my waffles little on crispier side. This recipe gives your nice crispy waffles from outside. It is light, airy and spongy from inside. I don’t need to explain, you can see here.

4) While you are making batter, preheat the waffle iron.

5) Pour the batter in the pre-heated waffle iron. Read your waffle maker’s manual and pour required batter as directed. If your waffle maker needs then grease it with cooking oil spray before pouring the batter. Mine did not require.

6) Cook it as per your waffle maker’s direction + few more minutes. Why? Always keep in mind that, waffles made without eggs takes more time to cook then one with eggs. For example, my waffle maker takes 5 minutes for normal waffle. So I usually cook any eggless or vegan waffles for 7 minutes. Eggless waffles always need some more time to crisp up.

If you have a sweet tooth for breakfast and this is for you. But I am sure your kids will love this yummy waffles.

Serving suggestions: Serve this waffles as a breakfast. Or have it as a dessert with dollop of whipped cream. See the topping options below in the notes section.

Notes and Variations for vegan waffles:

This is the basic waffle recipe. You can customize any way you like. Few options are here. Add this to the batter –

  • sliced bananas and ½ teaspoon of cinnamon
  • blueberries or chopped strawberries or any chopped fruit
  • chocolate chips
  • why don’t you tell me your fav in comments ??

There are so many ways that you can top your waffles. You can use butter, honey or maple syrup, whipped cream. Even you can top it with any chopped fruit. My favorite topping is strawberries or blueberries with maple syrup. And dear husband’s favorite is sliced banana with honey.

Few Points –

  • Honey is not vegan. So if you are vegan, please do not top it with honey.
  • I have used whole wheat chapati atta. Because I have it in my pantry all the time. But you can use whole wheat flour. You can replace it with all purpose flour.
  • I have used canola oil. You can use any flavorless oil like vegetable, corn or safflower oil.
  • The water should be at room temperature. Not hot or not cold.

  1. Made waffles this morning! They turned out great! Made just few changes – used unsweetened soya milk instead of water, swapped whole wheat flour for oat flour and added some apple cider vinegar. Simple, quick and tasty. Crispy on top and soft inside. And 7 min baking time is very accurate! Thank you! This will be our ‘go to’ waffle recipe!

  2. Hi Kanan,
    Thank you so much! Wonderful recipe. Simple yet delicious. I made it today. My son has egg allergy and this is the first time he has ever had a waffle. Thanks so much!!!

  3. Hey Kanan,

    This recipe is amazing! my mom loved it and is now asking for a savory one.
    Could you please share a savory waffle recipe as well.

  4. These waffles turned out amazing! Pancake Sunday has turned into waffle Sunday in our home 😊. Just curious if you could tell me how many calories are in one serving?

  9. I made these waffles three times, they came out perfect every single time! My foodie boys love these! They weren’t ready to believe that they’re eggless! These are wonderful! I make them with blueberries, chocolate chips and so on. I make a bunch and crisp them in oven for a party serving. Everyone loves them. They also freeze well! I can’t thank you enough for the wonderful recipe!

  10. I was browsing for a vegan waffle recipe since I forgot to buy them at the store and didn’t want to make a special trip. This recipe was so simple to prepare and the children gobbled them up. I used all all-purpose flour since that was all I had, cooked them in my simple waffle maker for 7 minutes and they turned out perfect! Next time, I’ll save money and make this tasty recipe!

  11. Love this! Got a new waffle maker but no milk for waffles this AM 🙁

    I didn’t want to let the kiddos down though so I searched for a quick & easy recipe. This is perfect!! Thanks so much for sharing 🙂

    P.S growing up if we didn’t have syrup we’d use jam on top. BlackBerry – yum.

  12. Just made these tonight! Praise be to this recipe (says not-my-thighs). Seven minutes was also perfect. I have a used/elementary waffle maker with just “low,” “med,” and “high” so I put it on high. The crisp is surprising. I never thought I could make something that good. The only thing is I might have added just a little bit too much baking powder. I can taste it just because I have a sensitive palate; my partner didn’t notice. I might just tweak something though.
    Oh yeah, I put a teaspoon of almond extract to sub for one of vanilla. I also added some apple sauce (maybe like two tablespoons).
    Thanks again!

  15. Today I made waffles for the first time ever and they were absolutely delicious thanks to your recipe! <3 Perfectly crispy on the outside and light and airy on the inside. I especially loved the subtle hint od vanilla. We had them with coconut whipped cream, fresh blueberries, banana and chocolate soy pudding (in random combinations) and it was heaven. Perfect brunch for a lazy Sunday 🙂

  17. I haven’t had waffles since I adopted a vegan lifestyle (my fav. waffles were eggos). I had a bit of an itch for them so I found this recipe and bought a waffle maker. the first batch was really good but I messed up because I was a waffle-maker noob. the second batch was BOMB! I increased the cook time to 10 minutes and they were perfect. awesome taste, perfect texture–a bit crisp on the outside while fluffy on the inside. thank you so much for sharing this recipe 🙂

  18. Made these for my family and none of us felt like it was lacking any ingredient, they taste so good! A delicious waffle recipe, not even just delicious for vegan waffles but just in general. And it’s the easiest vegan recipe I’ve attempted. Thanks!

  21. IVE NEVER DONE WAFFLES AT HOME AND I WILL GET A WAFFLE MAKER THIS WEEK AND II’L DEF TRY YOUR RECIPE. REALY DIFFERENT TOPPING THAT I LIKE ON WAFFLES SOMETIMES is really yummy AND PERFECT FOR CHRISTMAS BREAKFAST: A LITTLE BIT OF DARK CHOCOLATE SPREAD, ORANGE JAM AND SOME MARZIPAN PASTE. DECORATED WITHTINY CHOC CHIPS 👌

  24. Came across your page when I was searching for a waffle recipe without eggs. Turned out to be pretty good. I would like the crust to be less chewy and will try adjusting the ratio of all purpose to whole wheat flour. Have you seen a difference in the waffles with unbleached versus bleached all purpose flour.
    Thanks for sharing the recipe.

  25. Thank u for this recipe! This is the first vegan waffle recipe I have used that makes light, fluffy waffles that dont have undercooked middles. Very delicious!

  27. Absolutely lovely. I love the recipe. Thank you for sharing the recipe.

    I did halfed the ingredients and still came out yummy. Oh, I added coarse sugar with the waffle just so it can be a lil crunchier like a belgian waffle.

  29. Hello kanan
    I have tried making eggless waffels at home with many online recipe but still haven’t gotten the desired result. Can I know the measurement of the cup or the ingredients in terms of gram and ml(for water or milk)??
    Looking forward for positive reply.
    Thank you ?

  30. This recipe has been our defacto recipe for a bit over a year now, with the following changes:

    Replaced oil with apple sauce (makes it oil free, but also because the acidity of the apple rates with the banking powder for extra fluff!)
    Added a tablespoon of molasses, gives it a really nice browned colour

    It’s so good my non-vegan parents asked for the recipe!

  31. Hi Kanan
    Cant wait to try out the waffles…look soooo good !
    Could you suggest using another kitchen appliance if one doesnt have a waffle maker…

  32. I’ve just christened my waffle iron with this recipe! I thought it would be really bland using water instead of plant milk but it was great! Sieved icing sugar over the top and poured some maple syrup too 🙂 Cooking time of 7 mins was spot on for my waffle maker. Thank you! 🙂

  33. What an awesome recipe! I tried a few others before but they were failures. This one came out perfect!!! Thanks so much!!

  34. Hi,

    Can I check if one can use milk instead of water? Would like too add some nutrition for the little one.

    Thanks

    Reply

  35. This has become my go-to waffle recipe. It really does make excellent waffles – crispy on the outside but light on the inside. I generally do substitute almond milk for water, although it is nice to know that water is an option if I’m ever out. I don’t think anyone would guess they were vegan if they didn’t already know. Thank you!

    Reply

    • yea right, Many readers have tried these waffles using almond milk or soy milk and they got success.
      Glad to know that you liked the texture and taste. Thanks for constructive feedback. This may help others

      Reply

  36. These are amazing! Soy milk was substituted for the water the second time that I made them and it only adds to the moisture. Also great with a combination of cinnamon and blueberries. This is a great hand held breakfast for me once it’s cut into fourths. Can be ate without toppings if you add to it so it’s great for on the go!

  37. I made these waffles but instead of water I used chocolate almond milk, I added 1 tbsp of cocoa powder, blueberries, and some coconut shavings, pretty good. I’m a vegan so this was pretty good Nome the less, maybe just a little too spongy

    Reply

  38. Number 4 needs to be number 1,byou the time you get to 4 the batter is all done and the waffliiron is still cold,they taste good though

  39. What is the storage life of waffles? How long can I store it either refrigerated or frozen to have at a later date?

    Reply

  40. Thank you for this recipe. It is a great as is and accepts lots of additions and variations. I add ground pecans and flax meal, too. I also use almond milk instead of water.

    The other day, I made a delicious variation. I added crushed macadamia nuts, raw coconut, and crushed pineapple. Everyone really liked them.

    Reply

  41. I didn’t have wheat flour and used almond flour instead. Also like to add cinnamon and like to play around with the oils a bit and use grapeseed oil, coconut oil, etc. I have also used almond milk. Overall this recipe is awesome.

  42. Hi, our son has egg allergies and though he can eat waffles and pancakes made with eggs, we wanted to find healthier and safer options. We came across this recipe and I must say it’s a HIT. We feel it’s better than the egg recipes. The family requests it every weekend for breakfast. Thanks

    Reply

  43. We love your eggless recipes!! My daughter is allergic to eggs. Your recipes are the most delicious and easy to follow!! Thank you for sharing your recipes. Do you have any ideas for an eggless doughnut?

    Reply

  44. Thank you for this wonderful recipe! It’s a keeper and will be permanently added to my recipe box. I recently shifted toward vegan eating so now I’m always on the lookout for easy recipes without animal products, and this was both delicious and simple. My husband and I made these twice already this week!

    I also appreciate that it uses all “normal” ingredients since some vegan recipes can be intimidating with all of the special items you have to buy. This recipe is a perfect example of achieving the same texture and flavor profile as the “usual” waffle recipes but like you said, you don’t even notice it’s missing the egg. We substituted soymilk for water (or a mix of both) which seemed to make the batter thicker. I love how they taste just a bit sweet and the vanilla adds a lovely aroma as they bake.

    Looking forward to trying more of your recipes!

  45. Dear Kanan,

    Your recipe seems great, I’d love to try it. As I and my sister now on eliminating diet program, so we are trying to find egg-less, non-gluten, sugar free recipe. This recipe mention about whole wheat flour, what kind of flour to substitute this flour? Can I use rice flour or any non-gluten flour?

    Thanks

    Reply

  46. I substituted the water with almond milk and 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar. Then added 2 teaspoons cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon each nutmeg, ginger, and a dash of cloves. Then offered a variety of toppings: lemon wedges, powdered sugar, nut butters, coconut, pineapple and agave nectar. Delicious!

    Reply

  47. Thanks so much for the recipe. I just bought a waffle maker and tried it out for the first time today, I used another recipe first and they were only okay. I knew I needed something tastier to woo my daughter from purchased frozen waffles. These were great! She ate the first half without even noticing the maple syrup next to her plate! I also used almond milk instead of water as someone else mentioned. I doubled the recipe so there will be frozen waffles in the freezer that are tastier and healthier! Looking forward to experimenting with this basic recipe.

  48. I never leave comments on things but I just had to because this worked so amazingly well! I needed a vegan recipe because, as much as I love waffles regularly, the cost of eggs makes it a little daunting to make them often. This is a total life saver! For those of you reading this comment, you MUST, as listed in the directions, make sure you keep them in the iron an extra two minutes or so, otherwise they will not get crisp at all. But those extra 180 seconds make this my go to, forever recipe for waffles. Thank you so much for posting this, I loved it!!

  49. My waffles were soft 🙁 did not turn crispy outside. Followed the exact same recipe. Plus I did not get that golden color outside. Can you help Pls?

  56. Hey Kahan, the waffles turned out to be fantastic. I added cinnamon to the batter. But there was one problem,the waffles did not have a proper base. It was just like a frame . I have bought a 3-in-1 sandwiched which even has waffle plate . can u tell me how to get proper waffles

    Reply

  58. What a nice waffle you got there! 🙂
    Btw have you tried to make a loaf of bread or pizza using chapatti flour? I really wonder what can we make from chapatti flour other than chapatti. Thanks 🙂

    Reply

  59. I really like this recipe! I think it makes a nice base for modifications. I used soymilk instead of plain water and put in a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to curdle it. It turned out really good!

    I also love that you mentioned we should keep the waffles in the iron for a little longer. I always wonder why my vegan waffles turn out so soggy, but I didn’t know they needed to be kept in longer because of a lack of egg.

    Thank you for sharing!

  61. These are wonderful!! I was looking for an egg-less waffle recipe recently, not because of vegan requirements but because I don’t have any eggs in the kitchen!! I’m not a hard-liner with measurements and estimated about everything and they were perfect. I added chocolate chips to the second batch. Yum! And, duly noted on the time allowance. My waffle maker cooked them well, but I think next time I’ll leave them in for an extra minute or two to crisp them up a bit more. Let me say, yum, once more.

  65. Hey, Thanks for this recipe… Just tried them with some modifications and they came out yummm!!!

    Added a cup of milk and couple of tbsp yoghurt and everyone just loved them.

    Thanks a bunch..

Hi Kanan..First of all thanks for sharing an awesome eggless Waffles recipe 🙂 my hubby has always loved Waffles and he never fails to have them whenever we go out dining..I had never imagined making them at home would be so easy and simple and fairly quick..We just bought a toaster/griller/waffle maker today.We were not only sceptical to use the appliance but also not sure about the outcome of any recipe for eggless Waffles..We tried your recipe and it came out perfect..Thanks once again..Wish could post some pics here 🙂

  74. I made these for breakfast this morning and substituted coconut palm sugar for regular sugar & they were still awesome! DEFINITELY had to cook them way more than 5 minutes haha. But they were SO worth it in the end. I’ll personally start adding in a bit of 100% pure vanilla extract from now on though (just to get that extra ‘pow!’). Can’t wait to add in some blueberries or vegan chocolate chips too! Other than that, it’s definitely a staple 🙂

  78. i just made this on sunday for lunch, made it with milk and savory not with sugar for one of my dish, you can see that in next month at my space. Yours looks lovely.
