Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup cornmeal
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup canned sweet corn, drained
• 2 tablespoons scallions, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.25 cup water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Stir together until well-mixed.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for a couple of minutes to curdle and form a vegan buttermilk.

Step 3

Add the vegan buttermilk, olive oil, and water to the dry ingredients. Stir together until just combined. The mixture should be slightly lumpy.

Step 4

Fold in the drained corn, chopped scallions, and cilantro into the batter.

Step 5

Preheat your waffle iron according to its manufacturer's instructions.

Step 6

Lightly grease the waffle iron with a little oil to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Pour a portion of the batter onto the waffle iron, spreading it evenly. Cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions until the waffles are golden brown and crispy, approximately 4-5 minutes.

Step 8

Carefully remove the waffles and repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 9

Serve the waffles warm, topped with your choice of vegan-friendly toppings such as avocado, salsa, or vegan sour cream.
