I love trying out new ways to make waffles and pancakes, and these buckwheat waffles are a delicious variation on my no-egg waffle recipe.
Buckwheat is not related to wheat-- it's actually a seed, and it's terribly nutritious. You can read more about it here.
I mix up the buckwheat with a lighter flour-- you can use whole-wheat pastry flour or just regular all-purpose-- and they turn out just perfect: crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. These waffles are really low-fat: there's just 2 tbsp of canola oil in the recipe and it makes 8 waffles in my waffle-maker.
Eat these with maple syrup, my favorite way to have them, or top them with some fruit and vegan whipped cream for a very special breakfast.
Here's the recipe. Enjoy, everyone!
Buckwheat Waffles
Dry ingredients:
3/4 cup buckwheat flour
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour or all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
Whisk these together in a bowl and set aside.
Wet ingredients:
1 1/2 cups soy milk
1 1/2 tsp egg replacer like EnerG whisked into 2 tbsp warm water
1/2 cup apple sauce
2 tbsp canola oil
Whisk the wet ingredients together and add to the dry ingredients. Mix together but let some lumps remain.
Heat a waffle iron and spray lightly with oil. Make waffles per instructions.

ReplyDeleteYummy looking waffles.. I don't own a waffle iron, but those proabably make equally tasty pancakes. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds so yummy! Unfortunately I can't get my waffle iron to work for me anymore...maybe I cound make pancakes from your recipe.
ReplyDeleteWaffles look divine..
ReplyDeleteSOunds interesting, but I guess I will have to make pancakes out of them though!

ReplyDeleteKarma, Pavithra, Mahimaa, Shreya, Sharmila, Curry, Priya, Rekha, Sireesha: Thanks, ladies!
ReplyDeleteGita: Thanks, and hope you do try them.
Pavani, Divya, Mihl: I haven't made these as pancakes, but I don't see why not. You might want to add a couple of tablespoons more of soy milk to make them more spreadable.
A and N, Thanks!
Jade, I don't have a Belgian Waffle maker, but I don't see any reason why this recipe wouldn't work with one. Let me know how it works out!
Cham, Indhu: Thanks ladies.
Netts Nook: Thanks! Hope you'll like them!
Thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeletethose are delicious looking waffles!
ReplyDeletelove this, perhaps we will make this for our 7 year old. ever try making raw dishes??
ReplyDeleteLooks very professional n pretty!
ReplyDeletePicture looks so good. Have you tried freezing these? I always make a batch and freeze so that I don't have to make it every other day. (One week's worth) I'll give these a shot, but if you have already tried freezing, let me know how they taste.
ReplyDeletefor those of you who dont have a waffle iron, I saw 2 at my local thrift store yesterday, many dont use them anymore. I received one as a gift a few years ago, love it, but dont buy new, I always see them secondhand.
ReplyDeleteHow many does this make? I'd like to make enough to last at least a week if not two. I'll also have to play around with the egg substitute. I don't have access to the substitute where I live, I could probably order it, but am on a tight budget and I don't mind eating eggs.
ReplyDeletehi,
ReplyDeleteThey look so good...I would like to try these.. Can I use Flax seed meal instead of egg replaceer? Also how many eggs should we replace.
Thanks
Sowmya, use 1 tbsp flax mixed with 3 tbsp water. It replaces exactly one egg.
