Going vegan has been the latest trending choice of many famous and not famous chefs. We can see why alternative recipes have been gaining popularity and counting. The ethical advantages are immense, especially as the knowledge around sustainable cultivation spreads and the experience moves more and more towards an impact-free new culture of food.
Further, veganism is also associated with the faster resolution of several issues, such as wound healing, organic and healthy weight loss, reduction of cardiac arrest risk, and inflammation (please always consult with a health professional before drastically changing your diet).
Vegan Waffles that Will Fruit Up Your Day
Right off the bat, rest assured that your vegan waffles will function just as well as your standard ones, with perhaps a bit more of an interesting twist when it comes to flavor. The idea is to replace key ingredients with a plant-based and/or cruelty-free option, then follow the usual heating process and enjoy your new favorite breakfast treat.
The Ingredients and the Recipe
There is not just one way to make your waffles plant-based; we’ll look at replacements later. The main version presented here includes, yes, you read that right, reap bananas. Reap bananas are high in sugar and will give your dough an extra kick once cooked.
- Smash the bananas into a container
- Mix flour, baking soda, and a bit of water
- Add fat (vegan butter, kitchen oil, coconut oil)
- Add plant-based milk (coconut for a tropical result; oat and almond milk are also great)
- Pinch of salt
- Extra sweet spices like sugar, cinnamon, or vanilla (optional)
- Mix everything until homogeneous then place into the waffle pan for 3-5 minutes until crunchy.
What Can You Mix It with?
Fresh, sliced fruits will also naturally cover up the juiciness. But a layer of honey can easily harmonize your breakfast for extra deliciousness. Maple syrup, cream, plant-based cheese to spread, or even ice cream are perfect options for turning your waffles from a snack into the main course.
Also, have you ever tried salty waffles? Just like pancakes and their thinner twin crêpes, salty combinations work perfectly with the banana-based dough. You can either indulge in cheese and ham or replace it with roasted or sauté mushrooms, plant-based paté, or the super tasty hummus.
The Game of Replacement:
Learning about plant-based alternatives can become an interesting journey that can help you discover new ingredients and new ways to simply employ what you already have. For example, did you know that oats can be used instead of flour, not just to be turned into milk? And that milk can be replaced by juices in the creation of the dough. Mainstream sugar can be ditched in favor of stevia, piloncillo, panela, and more healthy-friendly options.
