How To Make Waffles with No Milk
Preheat the waffle iron
Preheat the waffle iron. Spray both sides with nonstick cooking spray before adding the batter.
Blend the ingredients
To a medium-sized mixing bowl add the gluten-free flour, coconut flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Blend. Add the soy milk, oil, and egg. Whisk until just blended.
Cook
Using a 1 cup measuring cup, scoop batter about 3/4 full. Pour onto hot griddle. Using a spatula or spoon gently spread the batter throughout the whole griddle plate. Cook for a total of 5 minutes, flipping halfway if your waffle iron turns.

Toppings have to be the best part of enjoying waffles for breakfast. There are so many delicious options that it is hard to pick a favorite, which is why waffles make a frequent appearance on the breakfast table – each time with a different topping!
With our shelf-stable waffle mix, kids can easily whip up a batch of waffles any day of the week. They then can choose from any of the toppings below for a satisfying meal to kick off the morning.
- dairy-free butter

- Nutella
- nut butter – almond, cashew, peanut

Recipe Tips and Tricks
- Be cautious not to overmix the batter to avoid dense waffles.
- Let the batter rest for a couple of minutes before pouring.
- Customize flavors by adding vanilla extract or cinnamon, and consider folding in chopped nuts.
- Check for doneness by observing the steam; diminished steam indicates the waffles are ready.
- Keep waffles warm in a preheated oven while finishing the batch.
- Experiment with toppings like dairy-free whipped cream, powdered sugar, or chocolate sauce.
- Get creative with savory waffle sandwiches by adding scrambled tofu, avocado, and salsa.
FAQ
Absolutely, simply swap the soy milk with any dairy free alternative such as oat, coconut (not canned) or almond milk.
Yes! Freeze waffles in a freezer bag or airtight container once completely cooled for up to 3 months. A great freezer staple to serve on busy mornings!
Pop in the toaster or reheat in the microwave for 10 second increments until hot.
When scooping batter with a 1 cup measuring cup (filled 3/4th full), a single batch will make approximately 3 Belgian sized waffles.
Storage Instructions
To store your lactose free waffles, allow them to cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, place them in an airtight container or sealable plastic bag, separating each waffle with parchment or wax paper to prevent sticking. Store the waffles in the refrigerator for up to three days or in the freezer for longer-term storage.
If freezing, wrap the waffles individually in plastic wrap before placing them in the airtight container or bag. This helps prevent freezer burn and maintains the freshness of the waffles. When ready to enjoy, simply reheat the waffles in a toaster, toaster oven, or conventional oven until they are warmed through and regain their delightful crispiness.
Kids In The Kitchen
Cooking tips and suggestions for kids making this recipe.
- Preheating a waffle iron helps to prevent the batter from sticking to the iron when it is added.
- Crack the egg in a separate bowl then pour into the batter. This way if you accidentally drop a shell int the egg bowl, it can be easily scooped out.
- Use a spoon to scoop flour into the measuring cup and then a knife to level out the top of the measuring cup once full. This spoon-and-sweep method will provide an accurate amount of flour to prevent crumbly and dry waffles.
