Vegan Chocolate Oat Waffles

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Vegan Chocolate Oat Waffles.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious waffle adventure, grab a large mixing bowl and combine the white whole wheat flour, quick-cooking oats, white sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, chia seeds, baking powder, and a pinch of sea salt.

2. Step 2

   Give it a good stir to ensure all those dry ingredients are well blended.

3. Step 3

   Next, pour in 3 cups of almond milk along with the melted coconut oil.

4. Step 4

   Using a wooden spoon, gently mix until the batter is just combined—remember, we want to keep it light and fluffy, so avoid overmixing! Once your batter is ready, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge for at least 8 hours or overnight.

5. Step 5

   This step is key, as it allows the chia seeds to soak up moisture and enhances the flavor of your waffles.

6. Step 6

   When you’re ready to cook, preheat your Belgian waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

7. Step 7

   Before you start cooking, give the batter a quick stir and add in 1 1/2 to 2 cups of almond milk to reach a cake batter-like consistency.

8. Step 8

   Feel free to adjust the almond milk based on how thick you like your batter.

9. Step 9

   Now, scoop about 1/2 cup of the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, spreading it gently to the edges.

10. Step 10

    Close the iron and let it cook until the steaming stops, which should take around 5 minutes.

11. Step 11

    Repeat this delightful process with the remaining batter, and soon you’ll have a stack of warm, fluffy waffles ready to enjoy!.
