Could one of the most popular vegan waffles recipes in WaffleParty.com history be improved? Yummerlicious, I believe it worked! This simple and easy recipe for vegan waffles will satisfy a broad range of wafflicionados.

Light and crispy, they are a new and improved spin-off of the very popular and simple Naked Vegan Waffles from The Global Vegan Waffle Cookbook. One of my personal faves. Shown in featured photo topped with blueberries, mango, and maple syrup. They were so delicious, in fact, that the photos are from two different batches!

Naked Gluten-Free Vegan Waffles
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups soymilk or other non-dairy milk
- 1/4 cup canola, grapeseed, olive, or other vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
- 1/4 cup brown sugar see note
- 1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons rice flour
- 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons tapioca flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Combine the soymilk, oil, ground flaxseed, and brown sugar in a medium bowl and mix thoroughly.
- Combine the rice flour, tapioca flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl and stir with a whisk.
- Pour the liquid mixture into the flour mixture and stir until well blended, and any large clumps of rice flour are gone.
- Let the waffle batter stand for 3 to 5 minutes while preheating a waffle maker according to the manufacturer's directions. This will allow the rice flour to absorb a bit more of the moisture, and will allow the flaxseed to thicken the batter a bit.
- Stir the batter a bit more if necessary to get rid of any remaining rice flour clumps.
- Spray both grids of the waffle iron very generously with oil. (See note.) Pour or ladle the batter onto the center of the iron, covering no more than two-thirds of the iron's surface for the first waffle. Adjust the amount as needed for subsequent waffles.
- Bake each waffle for 3 to 5 minutes, or until it can be removed easily, spraying both grids generously with oil prior to each waffle.
