In The Kitchen with Laura McKenna: Waffle Mix Recipe (that can be made dairy-free or not!)

With the recent recall of Quaker Oats’ two-pound boxes of Pearl Milling Company Original Pancake & Waffle Mix due to concerns of undeclared milk in the packaging, try my favorite homemade recipe for waffles instead!

Dairy allergies are NOT fun and I’ve made this recipe both ways- with real milk and butter and my preferred way: with Oatmilk and plant-based butter/margarine. But you can do any combo you like. It’s delicious either way and will seriously make the best waffles ever!

I found the original recipe HERE and tweaked it to my liking:

What You’ll Need:

• 2 cups flour
• 4 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. salt
• 2 TBSP sugar
• 2 large eggs, room temp
• 1 ½ cups warmed dairy-free or regular milk (I use Oatmilk)
• ⅓ cup margarine or butter (melted)
• 2 tsp. vanilla extract

What You’ll Do:

Sift all the dry ingredients together. I love sifting. If you don’t, I’m sure it will be fine. Just combine all the dry ingredients together and then start adding in the wet. Use a spoon or a whisk until a batter forms.

That’s it. The magic happens right before your eyes.

The pic is a Belgian Waffle that my husband made with this recipe on Christmas morning and it was DELICIOUS. I prefer fruit and whip and he likes butter and syrup. So use whichever topping you like.

Extra Tip:
Make way more waffles than you really need and freeze them. I do this all the time and then pop them in the toaster for a quick breakfast. They crisp up again as if they were freshly made.

Enjoy!
