These waffles are perfect for a cozy morning! They are a comforting and familiar cinnamon raisin flavor, have a slight sweetness to them, and pair well with tons of different topping options. Your next delicious breakfast is right here!*Note that the amount of batter per waffle and the length of time you cook each waffle may vary based on your waffle iron.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1.25 cups whole wheat pastry flour - (OR all purpose flour)*
- 3 tablespoon coconut sugar
- 1.5 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1.5 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
- ½ - ¾ cup raisins
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup almond or cashew milk (or another plant milk)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Toppings
- raisins or other dried fruit
- fresh apples or pears - diced
- unsweetened coconut shreds/flakes
- pure maple syrup - OR date syrup
- roasted pecans or walnuts
Instructions
- Mix all of the dry ingredients, except the raisins, in a medium sized mixing bowl. (Optional: sift the flour before mixing for fluffier waffles).
- If your plant milk is cold, pour it into a separate bowl and microwave it in 10 second intervals until it feels about room-temperature. Once it is no longer cold, whisk the other wet ingredients into the milk.
- Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredient mixture and stir to combine, making sure to remove any large lumps of flour.
- Fold the raisins into the batter
- Set up your waffle iron based on its instructions. Once it is ready to use, scoop between ⅓ - ½ cup of batter into the waffle iron (this will vary based on the size of your waffle iron). Using a spatula, spread the batter out slightly on the waffle iron - leaving just a little bit of room on the edges for it to naturally spread out the rest of the way. Cook based on the waffle iron instructions*.
- Safely remove waffle from waffle iron once cooked (I like to use a spatula to gently peel the edges off of the waffle iron, and then the rest usually comes off easily!). Repeat this whole process with the remaining batter.
- Top as desired and serve! (If saving for the next day, place cooked waffles in a ziplock bag in the fridge and reheat when ready to eat).
Notes
*Cooking the waffles (step 5): The amount of batter per waffle and the length of time it takes to cook each waffle may vary based on your waffle iron. For my particular waffle iron, ½ a cup of batter is perfect for one waffle (making about 3 waffles total), and each waffle cooks for about 2 minutes.
