How to make vegan sourdough waffles

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.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4-6 1x

  • Method: Sourdough
  • Diet: Vegan

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 cup of sourdough starter
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup apple sauce
  • 2 Tbsp maple syrup (optional)
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 cups flour (can be gluten-free)
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Mix the sourdough starter, water, apple sauce, maple syrup, and oil in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. I have tested this recipe with regular flour and GF flour. See the section above for notes on making gluten-free waffles.
  2. To cook the waffles, follow the directions for your waffle iron. Vegan waffles tend to stick, so I recommend brushing the waffle iron with oil before cooking, even if it’s non-stick.

Notes

  • The baking soda isn’t required, but I find that it reacts with the sourdough to make the waffles a bit fluffier. If you want to skip the baking soda, then increase the salt to 1/2 tsp.
  • I don’t usually add any sweetener to my waffles, however, we’re used to a sugar-free diet. Sourdough starter naturally gives these waffles a savory flavor. So feel free to balance the sourness by adding maple syrup to the batter.
