Vegan Whole Grain Spelt Waffles.
These flavorful vegan whole grain spelt waffles are egg free and delicious when topped with warm maple syrup.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups whole spelt flour whole wheat flour is also fine
- 2 Tablespoons organic cane sugar
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups non-dairy milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/3 cup organic canola oil or coconut oil
Instructions
- Turn on the waffle iron.
- Whisk together the dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients and allow to rise for a few minutes while your waffle iron heats up. The baking powder is going to puff the batter up.
- Brush the waffle iron with a little oil. Put the batter in the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions. I have a square waffle iron and it takes about five minutes for these to cook.
- Optional: Warm up the berries of your choice with some sugar in a pan or in a bowl in the microwave.
- Serve warm waffles topped with vegan buttery spread and maple syrup or berries.
Recipe Notes
Serving size is two small waffles.
Store leftover waffles in a ziploc bag in the refrigerator. They should stay fresh for up to 3 days.
This makes a small batch, but it’s just fine to double the recipe to suit your needs! Just make sure you have a big enough bowl so that when the batter rises, it doesn’t fall out and make a mess. :)
I use whole grain spelt flour because my sons are able to tolerate that better than wheat flour. But you can definitely use wheat flour if you prefer! Spelt is not gluten free, and you can read more about it here.

What’s your favorite weekend breakfast?
Really good. Light and fluffy!
Best waffles ever! Thanks
Super yummy and fluffy! I doubled the recipe and they all turned out perfect! I paired mine with peach butter and it was delicious!
These are by far the best vegan waffles! My family and I love them! Thanks for the awesome recipe! ?
So happy to hear that! Thank you!
Oh, thank you so much for this recipe!! I made it this morning and I loved these waffles so much!
I halved the recipe because I was alone, I used half water and half almond milk and I skipped the oil (I just greased the waffle iron).
Taste & consistency are great, I’m just a little bit bewildered about the quantity… I made 2 weird waffles (weird because they were my very first waffle :-) and I couldn’t measure out well the quantity to put)… I think your quantity makes 3 waffles… not good neither for 1 nor 2 people :-) and hard to make for 2.
Anyway, I’m definitely going to make it again :D
Glad you liked them! Could be the different sizes of waffle irons!
Really good! I used homemade almond milk in place of half the water. The texture was yummy too-not as dense as other spelt recipes.
Looks delicious.
Those look delicious Kelly!! I’m thinking Sunday morning breakfast. :-)
wonderful…thanks for sharing!
