LIGHT & CRISPY VEGAN WAFFLES

Light & Crispy Vegan Waffles image

The best vegan waffle I've had. Golden-brown, crispy, light, tender, full of flavor (especially with those appealing vanilla bean flecks). Plus, only 6 ingredients and 1 bowl!

Ingredients

1 14-ounce can full-fat coconut milk (about 1 3/4 cups)
1 vanilla bean
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt (I like fine-grain sea salt for this recipe)
Your favorite cooking spray (if needed (I have a non-stick waffle maker so I don't need or use any spray))
Pure maple syrup
Butter (or vegan butter)
Fresh berries

Steps:

Preheat your waffle maker.
If the coconut milk is solidified, place it into a small saucepan and set over low heat. Heat just until liquid, but not warm.
Pour coconut milk into a large mixing bowl. Scrape the pulp of the vanilla bean into the coconut milk (discard the pod) or add vanilla bean paste or extract. Stir to combine.
Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir gently with a wooden spoon just until combined (if you overmix, you risk making the waffles tough; don't worry, a few lumps are okay).
Spray your preheated waffle maker with cooking spray, if using. Pour batter into your waffle maker according to manufacturer instructions, as waffle makers vary. My waffle maker takes a heaping 1/3 cup per side.
Cook until golden brown, as per your individual waffle maker.
Serve with pure maple syrup, butter (or vegan butter), fresh berries, or anything else you'd like!
