Vegan Sourdough Waffles (GF Option)

Vegan sourdough waffles are a delicious and nutritious breakfast. Best of all this recipe will work for everyone! It can be made gluten-free, nut-free, and soy-free. You can even make it sugar-free!

Waffle Flavors

I love adding additional flavors to my waffle batter. This simple recipe has endless flavor possibilities.

Here are a few ideas to get you started:

1. Herb and onion: Make a savory waffle by omitting the cinnamon and maple syrup. Try adding 2 Tbsp of fresh basil and 2 Tbsp chopped spring onions instead.
2. Chocolate waffles: For a deliciously chocolatey treat, replace 2 Tbsp of flour with 2 Tbsp of cocoa powder and add 1/4 cup of mini vegan chocolate chips. Top with sliced banana and cultured coconut cream.
3. Citrus: For a tangy, citrus-flavored waffle, replace the cinnamon with the zest from one lemon and one orange.
4. Berrylicious: For berry-flavored waffles use berry fruit juice instead of water and stir in a 1/4 cup of fresh berries.

Gluten-free and vegan sourdough waffles

I follow a gluten-free diet, so I usually make my waffles with gluten-free flour. While I have tested this recipe with regular, all-purpose flour, I usually make it with gluten-free flour. (Because I like to eat breakfast too!)

• For gluten-free waffles use a gluten-free sourdough starter and whole-grain gluten-free flour.
• Personally, I like oat or buckwheat flour. However, if you want light and fluffy gluten-free waffles use a gluten-free mix of flour and starches.
• This recipe doesn’t need any additional binders or xanthan gum.
• Gluten-free waffles will benefit from an overnight ferment. So mix up your batter the night before! It’s the perfect option for a no-fuss breakfast.
