Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon flax seed meal/ ground flaxseed
- 2 tablespoons warm water
- 2 cups dairy free milk
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed preferred
- 2 ½ cups all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons vegan butter melted
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Make the Flax Egg: Combine the ground flax seeds and water in a small bowl and set it aside until ready to use.
- Make the Vegan Buttermilk: Combine the milk and lemon juice and in a small bowl and set it aside for five minutes.
- Make the Waffles: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s directions.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, brown sugar, and cinnamon. In a small bowl, whisk together the flax egg, vegan buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir just until combined-- make sure not to over-mix! A few lumps are okay.
- Spray your waffle iron with nonstick spray and add enough batter to fill the waffle iron, leaving about 1” around the edge. In my 8” waffle iron, I use 1 cup of batter. Cook the batter until the waffle is golden brown and crisp around the edges-- about 3 minutes. Repeat with the remaining waffle batter.

Notes
To freeze, allow the waffles to completely cool. Then, place them into freezer bags or another freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 3 months. You don't have to worry about thawing the waffles, simply reheat them in a toaster or bake them for 10-12 minutes at 350°F in your preheated oven.
Storage + Reheating - Store cooled waffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. To freeze without sticking, lay them flat on a baking sheet first, freeze until solid, then transfer to a bag. Reheat in the toaster or toaster oven for the best crispy texture — so much better than the microwave!
