Being totally honest for most of my life I have definitely been more of a pancake kind of person, but after recently getting a waffle iron it is safe to say I am now obsessed! Here is my recipe for easy vegan waffles that are the perfect way to start your day off the right way.
It took a fair amount of trial and error to make the perfect waffles that were not only delicious, but also have the perfect crisp golden outer. Many times I made the batter the wrong consistency, under/over filled the iron, cooked for the wrong amount of time, but after a many attempts I gradually made the perfect waffle recipe that makes perfect waffles every time!
When developing this recipe I wanted to make these the perfect 'everyday' waffles that would go great with any toppings. My favourite way to top these waffles is with some fresh fruit, depending on what I have in the house, and a load of sweet syrup.
