Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups white whole wheat flour, orย gluten-free all-purpose flour,ย the gluten-free flour blend we used already contained xanthan gum, check ingredients and if it doesn't contain any thickening agent, you'll need to add
- 1 1/2 tbsp baking powder
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tsp ginger powder
- 1/5 tsp sea salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups creamy oat milk, such as Oatly Barista, at room temperature
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp pure date syrup
- 1/3 cup dark Muscovado sugar
Toppings
- Strawberries
- Lingonberry jam
- Pure date syrup, to drizzle
- Icing sugar, to sprinkle
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron, spray or brush it with some canola oil, and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the white whole wheat flour or gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, ginger powder, and sea salt.
- In a medium bowl, combine the creamy oat milk, canola oil, apple cider vinegar, pure vanilla extract, pure date syrup, and dark Muscovado sugar, and mix well until the sugar is dissolved. Set aside for about 5 minutes.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, and using a spatula, gently mix the batter until combined. There will be some lumps. The batter should be thick.
- Preheat the oven to 95ยฐC/200ยฐF.
- Using a 1/3 cup measuring cup, scoop out some batter and spread it into the middle of the greased waffle maker. Don't spread it to the edges. Close and let cook until the steam has completely stopped from the waffle maker. Don't open it before the steam has disappeared!
- Once there is no steam coming from the waffle maker, remove the waffles and place them on a baking tray. Place the tray in the preheated oven to keep the waffles warm and crispy until you're finished with the entire batter. Continue with the rest of the batter.
- Serve with a dollop of lingonberry jam, strawberries, a big drizzle of pure date syrup, and a sprinkle of icing sugar to get the Christmas festive feeling. Enjoy!
- If there are leftovers, freeze them so they continue to taste fresh, crispy, and fluffy! When you're ready to eat them, simply take them from the freezer and directly heat them in your toaster. They will taste like freshly made, just as light, crispy, and fluffy!
Notes
- Make sure that all the wet ingredients are at room temperature. Either take a new bottle of oat milk or take the bottle from the fridge and pour the needed amount in a bowl and warm it up in the microwave so itโs room temperature.
- Always freeze your leftover waffles to ensure that they continue to taste fresh, crispy, and fluffy! When you’re ready to eat them, simply take them from the freezer and directly heat them in your toaster. They will taste like freshly made, just as light, crispy, and fluffy!
