It was on a visit to Belgium that I was given the best waffle recipe I used for many years. There is something truly beautiful about making your own, homemade, breakfast waffles. A nice batter is poured into the waffle iron, creating a wonderful crunchy delicacy with a gentle golden brown color and a wonderful smell that stays in the kitchen for hours. These Belgian treats are then topped with fruits, jam, whipped cream, chocolate, or anything else your heart desires. It’s probably one of my favorite ways to start a day. They take less than ten minutes total preparation and cooking time and the result is absolutely fantastic.
The original recipe I brought back from my friends in Belgium was fantastic, I have to admit. It was, however, based on some classic pastry ingredients like butter, milk, and sugar. After several tries, I came up with this completely vegan-friendly alternative that tastes exactly like traditional Belgian waffles I fell in love with.
I served these waffles with a classic maple syrup topping and some almonds. The other good choices are bananas, blueberries, whipped cream, agave nectar with some raw cocoa, or even a teaspoon of coconut butter. Give it a try.
