vegan waffles
These vegan waffles are light and fluffy with just the right amount of chocolate. Sometimes you just need a nice fluffy waffle on a cozy morning to go with your coffee.
I love these because they are just chocolate-y enough to make your taste buds dance, but not so sweet that they leave you feeling sick to your stomach afterwards.
As a plus, they are full of healthy ingredients like banana, chia seeds, coconut oil and oat milk! We top them with any variety of fun treats, but our favorites include: hazelnuts, pecans, banana, and coconut shreds.
You can easily make these gluten-free by using a gluten-free flour or gluten-free flour mix. I have had the best luck using buckwheat or chickpea flour. The buckwheat flour in particular is one of my favorites and still makes fluffy and moist pancakes. Check out my vegan and gluten-free pancakes here!

P.S. My Favorite waffle maker
This is my absolute favorite waffle maker. Non-stick, so easy and it has an overflow catch in case the batter spills out that actually cooks the spilled batter so that there is virtually no clean up.
I turn it on to heat up while I am making the batter. Once I start making the waffles I lightly spray it with coconut oil before each batch. I love how easy it is to use, clean and store.
