If you need a good plant based breakfast idea, these Vegan Double Chocolate Chip Waffles may become a new family favorite! Top them with fresh berries for a super healthy start to your morning. These bad boys are oil free and full of fiber!

Easy waffle recipe is vegan & can be made gluten-free

This waffle mix is really easy to make and is already dairy free & egg free. Unsweetened applesauce takes the place of oil and gives it a light sweetness.

These vegan double chocolate chip waffles can also be made gluten free – just use a gluten-free certified flour like oat flour. You can also grind your own old fashioned oats in to oat flour really easily – just put in a high powered blender and blend until a powder forms.

I use whole wheat pastry flour to have a lighter, fluffier texture, but regular whole wheat flour works great too; it’s just more course.

What kind of waffle maker?

How many waffles this makes, really depends on the size of your waffle maker. I have a pretty big Belgian Waffle Maker, so it makes 4 large waffles. My waffle maker is the Waring brand. I have had for over 10 years and it still works great. However, I think the exact model has been discontinued. Mine was not that expensive! I also recommend this Cuisinart Brand because it is a very similar style to mine that rotates and is a lot more budget friendly.

Use this vegan waffle recipe to make pancakes

Don’t have a waffle maker and want to make pancakes? No problem! Use this exact recipe to make plant based pancakes for breakfast instead.

Pour a 1/4 cup of the batter on to a pan or griddle on medium heat. Don’t let sides of batter touch, so use a large pan to make multiple pancakes at a time.  When the edges look dry, flip and cook for about 2 minutes more.

Whole Food Plant Based Waffles

To make these waffles 100% whole food plant based, use DARK chocolate chips. I like the brand The Enjoy Life Dark Chocolate Chips contain a tiny amount of sugar, no oil, & is 69% cacao.

If you find that the batter isn’t sweet enough when leaving out the vegan chocolate chips, you can add 1/4 cup of pure maple syrup for added sweetness.

What about the syrup?

Most all syrups are full of sugar, sweeteners, extra calories & little to no nutrients.

Pure maple syrup is a whole plant food, but is more calorie dense, so if you choose to use that as a topping. Use it very sparingly. I’ve gotten to where the fresh berries are all the sweetness I need!

Blackstrap molasses is also a whole plant food and does contain much higher amount of nutrients per calorie than pure maple syrup.
