Preheat the waffle iron. Make sure to grease your waffle iron just before adding the waffle batter, and repeat this before baking each batch of waffles. You can either brush some avocado oil or use a cooking oil spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the dry ingredients together: flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Add in the unsweetened almond milk, avocado, and vanilla extract.
Whisk all the ingredients together until it forms a consistent waffle batter with no lumps.
Ladle the waffle batter into the preheated and greased waffle iron.
Cook the waffles for 3-4 minutes (time very much depends on your waffle iron) or until golden and crispy. The longer they bake, the crispier they get.
Serve immediately with the toppings of your choice like icing sugar, peanut butter, or jam.
Make ahead
Store the waffle batter for up to 24 hours in the fridge in an airtight container and use it the next day for breakfast.
Storage
Store the cooked waffles in the fridge for up to 2 days in an airtight container. You can also freeze the waffles and defrost them the day before serving.
Stored waffles get softer. I recommend rewarming them for a few minutes in a toaster or in a preheated waffle iron to bring back their crispiness.
Note 1: Flour options: The recipe works with gluten-free all-purpose flour, whole-meal flour, or whole-wheat flour. The color of the waffles will be darker with whole-wheat flour as this flour contains a higher amount of fiber.Note 2: Any sweetener can be used, including coconut sugar, brown sugar, or unrefined cane sugar.Note 3: The recipe can be made oil-free. Swap the oil for the same amount of applesauce. Note that the oil-free vegan waffle recipe will be softer and won't crisp as much.
