Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 3 tablespoons Aquafaba (liquid from canned chickpeas)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, combine the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for a minute to curdle slightly, creating a vegan buttermilk.

Step 3

Add the vanilla extract and vegetable oil to the almond milk mixture, then stir to combine.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to ensure tender waffles.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk the aquafaba until it becomes frothy. This will act as a vegan egg substitute, helping to stabilize the waffle structure.

Step 6

Gently fold the frothy aquafaba into the waffle batter, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

Step 7

Preheat your bubble waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease it with a bit of vegetable oil or non-stick spray.

Step 8

Once the waffle maker is ready, pour enough batter onto the waffle plate to cover the surface but avoid overflowing.

Step 9

Close the waffle maker and cook for about 5 minutes or until the waffle is golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

Carefully remove the waffle using tongs or a fork, then repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 11

Serve the vegan bubble waffles warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruits, maple syrup, or vegan whipped cream.
