Vegan Belgian Waffles

Makes 8-10 waffles (1/2 pack)

Behold the power of whipped aquafaba here.

Only add a few more ingredients and you’ve got crispy on the outside, tender on the inside Belgian waffles.

This was surprisingly simple to do but the results were worth that little bit more effort & the texture was delightful.

Ingredients

• 255 g Gusto cake & waffle mix

• 1 tsp baking powder (optional)

• 1 3/4 cups almond, oat or soy milk

• 1 tbsp plus 1 tsp white or apple cider vinegar

• 1/2 cup melted vegan butter or oil

• 2/3 cup aquafaba, whipped to stiff peaks

Note:

I love using a non-salted chickpea base & paying a little more for the non-toxic tins.

Directions:

1. Preheat your waffle maker.

2. Mix the milk and oil, then add to the flour mixture.

3. To make the whipped aquafaba, in a separate bowl use a hand mixer and whip for at least 6 minutes. You will know it is ready when you lift the mixer and the peak on the foam stays up.

4. Carefully pour the whipped aquafaba into the waffle batter, and fold it in gently using a wooden spoon. Do not over mix! The foam will decrease in volume significantly once it hits the batter, but you should still see bubbles in the batter mixture.

5. Cook waffles according the directions on your waffle maker.
