Plant-Based Spelt Waffles

Whole spelt flour meets rich plant yogurt in this hearty morning staple. You'll love how the batter cooks up beautifully golden with a satisfyingly crisp edge and tender center. It's a fantastic base for building towering breakfast plates loaded with fresh berries, toasted nuts, and plenty of maple syrup. Set up a topping bar and let everyone customize their own stack.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (125 g) unbleached organic all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (100 g) whole spelt flour or other whole-grain flour
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1¼ cups (295 g) plain unsweetened plant yogurt or plant sour cream
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened plant milk
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil (refined or unrefined), melted
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. 1Whisk the all-purpose flour, spelt flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, fine sea salt, and baking soda together in a large bowl.
  2. 2Pour in the plant yogurt, plant milk, melted coconut oil, and pure vanilla extract. Mix gently just until the batter comes together. Don't overmix, or the waffles will become tough.
  3. 3Preheat your waffle iron and lightly coat the cooking surfaces with vegetable oil spray.
  4. 4Pour a portion of the batter into the center and cook for 2 to 5 minutes per side until the edges are crisp and golden brown.
  5. 5Transfer the finished waffles to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, spraying the iron between batches if needed.

Notes

  • Equipment: Using a shallow waffle maker yields thinner waffles that stack beautifully.
  • Serving: Set out toppings in small bowls so everyone can customize their own breakfast plate.
  • Toppings: Try sliced bananas, fresh berries, cacao nibs, toasted nuts, plant butter, nut butter, maple syrup, or whipped coconut cream.
  • Keep warm: Place cooked waffles on a wire rack in a 200F oven to keep them crisp while you finish the remaining batter.
