Buckwheat-Oat-Applesauce Vegan Waffles: WP9 Version
This is a significant variation on the “Healthful Vegan Waffles” recipe also mentioned on this site. This is the version used for Waffle Party 9.
Ingredients
Method
- Combine the buckwheat flour, oats, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Stir or whisk until well blended.
- In a medium bowl, combine the soymilk, water, applesauce, oil, egg replacer powder, sugar, molasses, and vanilla, and stir until well blended.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until well incorporated, but still slightly lumpy.
- Cook on a waffle iron for 3 to 5 minutes, generously spraying both grills with oil before each waffle.
Notes
For the exact ratio used for WP9, replace 1 tsp. of the unrefined cane sugar with demerara sugar–this, however, will make only a very small difference. It will add a slightly more “molasses” flavor, which you can also achieve by simply replacing some of the unrefined cane sugar with additional blackstrap molasses.
Delicious! This will be my new standard. I am not vegan, but egg free, and used regular milk since that’s what I had. I used white buckwheat, which was perfect. One note – my rolled oats are too thick and weren’t good for the texture (normally I love oats). Next time I will skip them or find thinner oats.
Molly,
Glad to hear you gave these a try, and were able to incorporate some cholesterol reduction and chicken friendliness. Fortunately there are a range of oats available; if you like them a bit less chewy, anything labeled as “instant oats” may come closer to the texture you’re seeking. Let us know how that works!
