One of my family’s favorite things for breakfast is waffles! It can be difficult to find vegan recipes that don’t include sugar and oil but these waffles check all the boxes!
They are:
- Made with 100% whole wheat flour
- Contain no added sugars, only sweetened with dates
- Oil free
- Salt free
- Nut free
I love being able to quickly make breakfast without having to check them constantly like you do pancakes! We have the Krups Waffle Maker (not sponsored, non-affiliate link) and these easy to remove waffle plates make for an easy clean up. We just toss ours in the dishwasher which means our machine is always clean and there is no scrubbing involved – a win-win!
No matter if you’re team waffle or team pancake, there are plenty of delicious toppings you can include! Here are some of our favorites:
- Mixed Berry (see my Very Berry Date Syrup)
- Chocolate, Peanut Butter, & Banana
- Dad’s Special which is a waffle topped with sprinkles and syrup
- Yogurt & Fresh or Frozen Berries
- Kiwi, Pineapple, & Coconut for a Tropical Twist
- Baked Apples with Cinnamon Maple Syrup
- PBJ which uses your favorite berry (we prefer strawberries!) and drizzled with peanut butter
