Instructions
- Mix soy milk with lemon juice and let it sit for at least 5 minutes to curdle. This will act as a buttermilk substitute.
- In a large bowl, combine gluten-free flour, baking powder, vanilla sugar (or 1.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract), and salt. Whisk well to distribute everything evenly.
- Add the soy milk mixture, sunflower oil, and sugar to the dry ingredients. Mix well with a whisk until you have a smooth batter without lumps.
- Stir in vinegar and mix well.
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Brush the hot waffle iron with a little oil to prevent sticking.
- Pour about 100-120 milliliters of batter into the hot waffle iron. Close the iron and cook until steam mostly stops escaping. Do not open the waffle iron during cooking.
- Melt the dark chocolate (microwave in 20-30 second bursts, stirring each time, or use a double boiler). Slice the bananas.
- This recipe should make 8-12 waffles. Serve the waffles hot, topped with melted dark chocolate, sliced bananas, and vegan whipped cream. Enjoy your delicious gluten-free waffles with delightful toppings!
Notes
- Let the soy milk + lemon sit the full 5 minutes so it thickens slightly (better texture).
- Gluten-free batters often benefit from a 5 minute rest before cooking—if you have time, let it sit so it thickens and cooks more evenly.
- Cook until steam mostly stops; opening early can tear waffles and make them stick.
- For crispier waffles, place cooked waffles on a wire rack (stacking traps steam and softens them).
- Add toppings right before serving so the waffles stay crisp and the bananas don’t brown.
