    This no milk waffle recipe gives you fluffy, flavorful, and delicious waffles every time. With nondairy milk or without, these can easily become an allergen-friendly recipe to use in your home.

    When my son was a baby he had a strong dairy intolerance so we went 100% dairy free in support. Finding trusted and true recipes without milk often had us getting creative in the kitchen trying to copy flavors without using the usual ingredients.

    We have since gotten dairy back into our lives as our son outgrew the intolerance around age 2, but I still enjoy dairyless recipes here and there. Especially when I don't want to run to the store for a gallon of milk.

    These non dairy waffles are incredible and whether you're avoiding dairy for a reason or simply wanting to be frugal and mindful of the grocery shopping day, they're sure to hit the spot.

    🍴 Recipe Tips

    To make this waffle recipe without milk, simply use water. While water may cause some flavor loss, with the right toppings, you'll hardly notice. The waffles without milk still come out fluffy, golden brown, and perfect every time.

    For seasonal fun, use a half flavored coffee creamer and half non-dairy milk/water to get a flavored waffle. Perfect for those of us wanting to enjoy a different spin on a classic breakfast.

    Making the perfect waffle comes means following along with the manufacturer's instructions. In the booklets received with your new waffle maker, they specify the different settings, how to grease it properly and how much batter to use.

    For example, my waffle maker prefers that I use a pastry brush to brush oil on rather than spray with nonstick, and I can adjust how "done" I want them by a simple twist of the dial.

    It may take a few waffles to get the results you desire, but it's an easy learning curve, and you can save time next time by remembering what went right this time.

    💭 FAQs

    Can waffles be frozen?

    Yes, these milkless waffles can be made in advance and frozen. Simply place them on a baking sheet and let freeze for 1-3 hours before transferring to a Ziploc bag or airtight container for up to three months. Thaw and reheat before eating (or eat them frozen).

    How long will waffles last in the fridge?

    After your waffles have cooled, place them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat simply place them on a cooking sheet in the oven at 350 degrees F for a few minutes on each side to crisp them up without making them soggy. A wire rack is preferred for cooking both sides at once.
