Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup almond milk
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure a smooth, lump-free mixture.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the almond milk and maple syrup. Whisk gently until the batter is well combined and smooth, being careful not to overmix.
- Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with a neutral cooking oil or vegan butter to prevent sticking.
- Fold the chopped pecans into the waffle batter, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Pour the recommended amount of batter into the preheated waffle iron, following the manufacturer's guidelines for your specific waffle maker.
- Cook the waffle until it is golden brown and crisp, typically 3-4 minutes, depending on your waffle iron's settings.
- Carefully remove the waffle from the iron and place it on a wire rack to maintain crispness.
- Gently fold fresh raspberries into the cooked waffles or arrange them on top as a garnish.
- Serve immediately with additional maple syrup, extra chopped pecans, or additional fresh raspberries if desired.
Tips
- Sift Your Dry Ingredients: To achieve the lightest and fluffiest waffles, make sure to sift your all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt together. This helps eliminate lumps and ensures an even rise.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, whisk gently until just combined. Overmixing can lead to dense waffles, so keep that batter slightly lumpy for the best texture.
- Preheat Your Waffle Iron: Make sure your waffle iron is fully preheated before pouring in the batter. This will help create that perfect golden-brown crust and prevent sticking.
- Customize Your Add-Ins: Feel free to get creative! You can swap out the pecans for walnuts or add in some chocolate chips for a sweeter twist.
- Keep Waffles Crisp: After cooking, place your waffles on a wire rack rather than stacking them on a plate. This will help them stay crisp instead of getting soggy.
- Serve with Style: For a stunning presentation, top your waffles with a generous drizzle of maple syrup, a sprinkle of extra chopped pecans, and a handful of fresh raspberries. Your breakfast will look as good as it tastes!
