Easy Eggless Waffles

With egg prices soaring, I decided to try a recipe for eggless waffles, and it turned out to be just what I was looking for. These easy eggless waffles still have a nice texture and can be topped with your favorite additions, making them versatile and delicious.
We topped ours with fresh berries, a drizzle of maple syrup, and a little whipped cream, but they would also pair wonderfully with my buttermilk syrup or cinnamon roll syrup for an extra indulgence.
Although my husband enjoyed these, he mentioned that he still prefers the taste of my waffle recipes, which include eggs. These egg free waffles work great as an alternative when you’re low on eggs, but you might notice a slight difference in texture compared to traditional waffles. Nonetheless, this recipe is a fantastic option for anyone looking for a no-egg breakfast or brunch treat! I love that I usually have all the ingredients to make them sitting in my pantry.

How to Make Easy Eggless Waffles
To make these easy eggless waffles, start by mixing the dry ingredients—flour, baking powder, and sugar—in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, canola oil, water, vanilla, and melted butter until combined. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir until just combined; it’s fine if the batter remains slightly lumpy.
After mixing, let the waffle batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the baking powder to activate, which helps create a light and airy texture. Once rested, cook the waffles in a preheated waffle maker. Since I was making a small batch, I used my Dash mini waffle iron, which worked perfectly for the three of us. Enjoy your waffles with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, syrup, or whipped cream!
