This recipe for Healthy Morning Waffles was an official entry in the So Delicious Dairy Free Recipe Contest, submitted by Teresa Makin.
Teresa uses a blend of hearty whole wheat and all-purpose flours to keep these morning waffles light. If you want a completely whole grain breakfast, you can use whole wheat pastry flour or white whole wheat flour in place of both flours (equivalent amount). These types of whole wheat flours tend to be just a touch lighter, but still retain the wholesome fiber and protein.
To keep them vegan, Teresa uses coconut milk beverage for the liquid (you can substitute almond milk or your favorite free-from milk alternative) and coconut milk yogurt in place of eggs. For reference, the 1/4 cup of dairy-free yogurt equals about 1 large egg plus a little sweetener (the yogurt adds a good dose of sugary goodness!).

What type of all purpose flour do you recommend, so many out there. Thank you!
Hi Tracey, it’s just traditional all-purpose flour. The white flour sold in the big bags at every grocer (even corner stores). Maybe you are thinking of gluten-free all-purpose flour blends? This is just regular all-purpose flour – not sure what else to call it!

Hi. I would love to try this recipe. Do you have a suggestion for a sub on the dairy free yogurt? We cannot to tapioca (that’s in the df yogurt).
Thanks!
Hi Rebecca, if you want to keep it egg-free and vegan, then applesauce, mashed banana and even mashed avocado will work well. Another option is flax “eggs.” If egg-free isn’t a concern, you can use eggs – 1 large or extra-large egg = 1/4 cup yogurt.
