Anyway, let's go over everything you'll need to make these waffles without milk.

Ingredients

As I mentioned earlier, this recipe uses really simple ingredients that you can easily find at your local grocery store. In fact, you might already have a majority of these ingredients already on hand!

Here's what you'll need to make these no milk waffles:

• 1 ½ cup Oat Flour
• 2 tsp. Baking Powder
• ½ tsp. Salt
• ¾ cup Almond Milk
• ¼ cup Coconut Oil
• 2 Eggs
• 2 tbsp. Maple Syrup
• 1 tsp. Vanilla Extract

Simple, right? 

Now, if you want an even easier waffle recipe - and are ok with dairy - these Belgian waffles are a great one to make too. And if you want a super healthy waffle recipe, these 3 ingredient banana waffles are a great option as well! 

Diving Into The Ingredients

So, to keep this recipe dairy free, we're making a few simple ingredient swaps. Instead of dairy milk, we're using almond milk. And instead of butter, we're using coconut oil. We're also using oat flour, so this recipe makes not only dairy free waffles, but gluten free waffles too!

With that said, you can substitute any ingredient on the list for a similar alternative.

For instance, substitute the almond milk with your favorite nut milk or oat milk. Replace the coconut oil with any neutral oil you like. And if you're okay with gluten, use all-purpose flour instead of oat flour. 

By the way, the secret to the best waffles ever is adding a touch of maple syrup and vanilla to your waffle batter. Trust me, it gives the best sweet aftertaste that makes you crave these waffles again and again.

As for how to serve these deliciously crispy waffles, go crazy with it!

Craving something sweet? Throw in a handful of blueberries or any fresh fruit and top with maple syrup and whipped cream.

Or, if you want a chocolatey experience, add some chocolate chips and cocoa powder to the batter.

Of course, you can add any of your favorite toppings to them, and these waffles without milk will be exquisite!

Anyway, now that you know just how simple this recipe is, let's get cooking!

How to Make No Milk Waffles

So this recipe will take you no more than 20 minutes, and it'll make about 4 servings - give or take - depending on the size of your waffle iron.

Now, here's how to make dairy free waffles!

Step 1: Mix the Waffle Batter

First things first, preheat your waffle iron.

Next, put all of the ingredients together in a large mixing bowl and whisk them together until everything is completely mixed and has a batter consistency.

Alternatively, you can add everything to a blender and blend until a smooth batter forms. 

Step 2: Cook the Waffles

Now it's time to cook your waffles!

By now, the waffle iron should be heated and ready to go.

So grease your waffle iron with a little oil or cooking spray. Then, pour in enough batter to cover the waffle iron surface - about ¼ cup for smaller waffle irons and up to ½ cup for larger ones. 

Once the waffles are golden brown and cooked through, remove them from the iron and repeat with the remaining batter.

A good indicator is when the steam stops coming out of the waffle iron. And here are some more tips to know when they're done.

Step 3: Serve and dig in

And just like that, you're ready to top and serve your waffles!

Top your dairy free waffles with whichever toppings you prefer. I love fresh berries and a drizzle of honey, but it's up to you!

Serve the waffles fresh off the iron, and enjoy!

How to Store No Milk Waffles

One of my favorite things with this recipe is to make two or three batches and then save some leftovers to have these delicious waffles on hand whenever the cravings hit.

And these homemade waffles keep so well! Seriously. I think they're better than Eggo waffles.

So, if you have leftovers, once they've cooled, transfer them to an airtight container and store them in the fridge for about 5 days.

You can also freeze them for longer storage - this is what I like to do. To freeze the waffles, put them on a baking tray and flash freeze until frozen. Then, put the waffles in a freezer-safe bag and store them in the freezer for several months.

How to Reheat Homemade No Milk Waffles

Reheating these waffles is a breeze! Just pop them in the toaster - or toaster oven - for about 4-6 minutes or until warmed through.

You can also heat them up in the microwave for 30-60 seconds, but I find the toaster keeps it a crispy waffle.

If you need to reheat a big batch, preheat it to 375°F and warm the waffles for 5-10 minutes or until hot.

Wrapping It All Up

And there you have it! That's how to make waffles without milk.

Whether you make them for breakfast, brunch, or even dessert, these dairy free waffles are sure to satisfy. They're fluffy, flavorful, and totally customizable to your liking!

So go ahead and whip up a batch – I know you'll love them as much as I do!
