Let the flaxseed and water mixture sit the full 5 minutes until it turns gel-like before mixing it in — this is what gives it binding power in place of eggs.
Instructions:
- Make the Flax Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together 6 tbsp ground flaxseed and a little warm water. Let sit for 5 minutes until gel-like. Set aside.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a very large bowl, whisk together 720 g (6 cups) all-purpose flour, 3 tbsp baking powder, optional 1 tsp cinnamon, and optional ½ tsp ginger powder.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, whisk together 1.25 L (5¼ cups) dairy-free milk, 1 tbsp vanilla extract, flax mixture, and either 120 g (½ cup) unsweetened applesauce (oil-free) or 120 ml (½ cup) neutral oil.
- Combine: Pour wet into dry and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix. Let rest for 5 minutes.
- Cook: Preheat and lightly grease a waffle iron. Pour in batter and cook per your waffle iron’s instructions, typically 4–6 minutes, until golden and crisp.
- Serve: Serve hot with fresh fruit, maple syrup, or your favorite toppings.
Flour Variations
Gluten-Free Option
Use 6 cups gluten-free 1:1 flour blend (with xanthan gum). If your blend doesn’t contain xanthan gum, add 1½ tsp xanthan gum to the dry mix.
Whole Wheat Option
Use 3 cups whole wheat flour + 3 cups all-purpose flour for a balance of heartiness and fluffiness.
- If you want 100% whole wheat waffles, use 6 cups whole wheat flour, but increase the dairy-free milk to 5½ – 5¾ cups for moisture.
Flax Egg Alternative
Instead of flax eggs, you can use:
- Chia eggs (6 tbsp chia seeds + 1 cup water, let gel for 5 minutes)
- Mashed banana (¾ cup for a slightly sweet flavor)
A few ingredients do most of the work in this recipe. The all-purpose flour provides structure and body to the finished dish. The baking powder provides lift so the texture stays light rather than dense. The cinnamon powder adds warmth and a comforting, spiced aroma. The ginger powder adds a bright, peppery warmth that lifts the other flavors.
