Vegan Whole Wheat Waffles
Vegan Whole Wheat Waffles are only 3 ingredients! {Free from dairy, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts & soy}
We spontaneously bought a waffle maker a few months ago, and when we got it home, I realized had no idea what I was doing. All I could remember about making waffles as a kid is they took forever. We had to separate the eggs, beat the eggs whites, fold in the eggs whites, and then let the batter sit. To much work! Who wants all that egg-y bru-ha-ha?
The first recipe we tried in our new waffle maker was Belgian Waffles. Holy moly is there a lot of butter and sugar! There must be a way to make waffles healthier! There must be a way to make them more allergy friendly! Low and behold my most beloved recipe to date: vegan whole wheat waffles.
Bye Bye Sugar Hello Applesauce
The reason I love vegan whole wheat waffles is they tick so many healthy and allergy friendly boxes. So many in fact, I had a hard time naming this recipe! Here were the options:
• Vegan Waffles
• Whole Wheat Waffles
• Dairy Free Waffles
• Egg Free Waffles
• Sugar-Free Waffles
• 3 Ingredient Waffles
• Easy Waffle Recipe
• Waffles for Two
Right! What to choose. What to choose!? Three ingredient sugar-free vegan whole wheat waffles doesn’t really work eh! In the end, vegan whole wheat waffles was the name that won. These waffles say bye bye to refined sugar, white flour, butter, and eggs and hello to whole wheat flour, coconut oil, and unsweetened applesauce!
Vegan whole wheat waffles are not overly sweet (sweetness depends on the applesauce you use), which means if you choose to top them with whip cream or syrup, it won’t feel like you are just eating sugar for breakfast. My favourite way to eat them is with greek yogurt and a drizzle of maple syrup. Since there is no other source of sugar in this recipe, you can fully experience the maple syrup flavour. And you won’t experience a sugar crash!
Grab your waffles irons, coconut oil, unsweetened applesauce, and whole wheat flour. Breakfast is served!

These look delicious! It’s been a while since I’ve made waffles – my kids would love these 🙂
Thanks Sarah! Definitely a great kid friendly recipe.
I always have whole wheat flour on hand since we grow and grind our own wheat. Will be trying out these waffles.
I would love to hear how the recipe turns out with your own ground wheat! Grinding my own wheat is on my culinary bucket list 🙂
Holy Moly, I couldn’t make it past the first picture befodre my mouth starting watering. It’s hard for vegans, like me, to get super excited about food sometimes, this is definitely one of those times, thank you!
I hope you get to try out the recipe 😀 Cheers!
I love how simple the ingredients are. Allergies can make it quite difficult to eat great food and even when it is great it is often labor intensive. You hit it out of the park with this recipe.
Thank you so much Elise! 😀
Wow that looks amazing! I haven’t have waffles forever and now I have try them in a healthy version 🙂 thank you for sharing
Hope you enjoy them! What I love about the recipe is these waffles are filling, which I don’t find is the case with other recipes 😀
Looks amazing! Thanks for sharing.
We spontaneously bought a waffle maker one time too haha. But after a trial recipe we had to return it – it was not cooking evenly. I’m thinking we really need one, this looks amazing! And healthier too. And just 3 ingredients! Hard to beat that 🙂
I was a little underwhelmed by my waffle maker at the start and especially at how rich so many waffle recipes tend to be. I hope you try this recipe out if you get a new one. 😀
Oh my, these look scrumptious!! ❤️
Thank you so much for this delicious recipe!
XO, Vanessa
Thanks Vanessa!
This is such great idea and the waffles look so yummy! Thanks for sharing 🙂
I love the fact that we can always find a way to be sure that all the sweetest things in life are healthy and thus being approved to eat! haha!
Gotta love a crispy waffle!
These looks so easy! I bet I could use gluten-free flour. Thank you!
Those look incredible!
YUM! I’ll have to try these this weekend. Perfect for brunch!
Jo and I love this! I’ve only ever had some allergy-friendly frozen waffles a few times in my life and they were less than desirable. Kind of turned me off waffles for a while.. but these look so delicious. And great work with the syrup drizzle being captured so crisply!
The first pic is just mind blowing. Great recipe.
Yum! I love waffles. I got a new waffle maker awhile ago and it’s still in hte box. I think it’s time I broke it out!

Waffles are always a weekend breakfast favorite in our house! These look great! 🙂
Wow, so simple and I can’t believe they didn’t stick to the waffle maker!
Wow! So simple! I love simple recipes 🙂
So simple & delicious!
Applesauce! What a gret substitute. They look delicious too 🙂
I love using apple sauce in baking! Adds so much flavor and is so much healthier!
Mmmm, looks delicious! I like your allergy friendly adaptations!
These look amazing, wish I had time to make these for breakfast tomorrow!
It looks delicious! I’m going to try this recipe tomorrow 🙂
I’m totally going to try these with a gf flour blend!
Since we grow, harvest and grind our own wheat this would be so easy for me to make anytime I want.
Applesauce and yogurt have done wonders in transforming my food too, especially my baking. Love it and they look so yummy!
Thank you for the yummy recipe. I am pinning it to my board and I will definitely try to make it any time in future.
