Egg-Free Waffles

(2 servings)

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup wheat flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 Tablespoons sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 and 1/4 cup cool water
  • dash of salt
No eggs. No dairy. But it works! Once these waffles are topped with a little maple syrup, you can hardly tell the difference between these and waffles made with eggs and milk. The recipe was sent to us by a user named 'checkers' a few years ago and has gotten plenty of rave reviews since then. I tried it this morning (June 2013) and I agree with the positive comments. The only changes I made to the recipe as submitted were to add 2 more Tablespoons of all-purpose flour (to get the batter constancy I'm used to) and to add 1 teaspoon of vanilla for a tad bit more flavor.

Cooking Notes From Mr Breakfast:

One word of caution: 2 Tablespoons of oil is the bare minimum that you should use in this recipe. It worked for me, but I used a very new waffle maker. If I was using an older model or one where waffles have a tendency to stick, I would definitely increase the oil to 3 Tablespoons.

I would suggest that you increase your normal cooking time just a notch as the waffles are slightly less crispy than than those with egg cooked at the same setting.

This recipe made exactly four 6 and 1/2-inch waffles.



If you add a 1/4 cup more water, this works as a good pancake batter.


Mr Breakfast would like to thank Checkers for this recipe.
