Try these wholegrain and delicious vegan buckwheat waffles for a nourishing breakfast
I love trying out new ways to make waffles and pancakes, and these buckwheat waffles are a delicious variation on my amazing Vegan Waffles recipe.
Buckwheat is not related to wheat-- it's actually a seed, and it's terribly nutritious. You can read more about it here.
I mix up the buckwheat with a lighter flour-- you can use whole-wheat pastry flour or just regular all-purpose-- and they turn out just perfect: crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. These waffles are really low-fat: there's just 2 tablespoon of canola oil in the recipe and it makes 8 waffles in my waffle-maker.
Eat these with maple syrup, my favorite way to have them, or top them with some fruit and vegan whipped cream for a very special breakfast.
Here's the recipe. Enjoy, everyone!

Thanks for the recipe - they look delicious! I want to make these tonight but am not really great at making flax eggs yet and don't have any replacer. Do you think they'd turn out okay if I just used half a banana, mashed? I saw a chart a while back on various things that can replace eggs in recipes...

Mahima, yes, half a banana would be fine.

Do you have a link for that chart? I no longer use oil in my cooking.

Sowmya, use 1 tbsp flax mixed with 3 tbsp water. It replaces exactly one egg.

hi,
They look so good...I would like to try these.. Can I use Flax seed meal instead of egg replaceer? Also how many eggs should we replace.
Thanks

How many does this make? I'd like to make enough to last at least a week if not two. I'll also have to play around with the egg substitute. I don't have access to the substitute where I live, I could probably order it, but am on a tight budget and I don't mind eating eggs.

for those of you who dont have a waffle iron, I saw 2 at my local thrift store yesterday, many dont use them anymore. I received one as a gift a few years ago, love it, but dont buy new, I always see them secondhand.

Picture looks so good. Have you tried freezing these? I always make a batch and freeze so that I don't have to make it every other day. (One week's worth) I'll give these a shot, but if you have already tried freezing, let me know how they taste.
