Fluffy Eggless Waffles
The perfect, fluffy eggless waffles! They are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. These egg-free waffles are quick to make and use simple ingredients. Enjoy them fresh off the waffle maker or freeze for later.
Okay is there anything more fun than a giant stack of waffles and then the beautiful pour of maple syrup down the center. Its a child right of passage and I truly love having waffles on hand.
Whether or not you have an egg allergy or you simply just don’t have eggs on hand, these no egg waffles are the best recipe. You will not miss the eggs at all! These waffles use typical pantry and fridge staple ingredients. I never want you running to the store for some strange ingredient you will never use again.
These eggless waffles are perfect to add in chocolate chips or blueberries. You can also grab the recipe for my pumpkin waffles without eggs!
Ingredients and substitutions
How to make egg-free waffles
Step one: Mix together wet ingredients including milk, melted butter, oil, and vanilla. Mix together dry ingredients and set aside.
Step two: Pour dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Your batter will be lumpy and this is fine. Allow the batter to sit for 3-4 minutes.
Step three: Scoop by 1/4 cup into the waffle iron and cook according to your waffle irons specifications.
Step four: Remove and top with your favorite toppings.
What to serve eggless waffles with
- These pair great with fresh fruit, bacon, sausage, or ham.
- Delicious toppings: blueberries, strawberries, honey, nut butter, chocolate chips, butter, maple syrup, or whipped cream.
Equipment needed
- Waffle Iron/Waffle Maker – The brand featured here is the toastmaster mini waffle maker. It is very simple and cheap but gets the job done! If you have a larger family I’d recommend the Cuisinart round waffle maker to speed up the process of cooking them!
- Medium and large mixing bowl
Allergy-Friendly Swaps
Dairy-Free: Use a dairy-free milk such as soy, almond, or oat milk. I do not recommend coconut milk. Use a vegan butter or substitute a neutral tasting oil.
FAQ and substitutions
Allow them to cool completely and place in a galloon size freezer bag. Separate layers by parchment paper to avoid sticking together. When you are ready to enjoy them, warm in a toaster.
This recipe uses simple ingredients including milk, butter, and a bit of extra flour to replace eggs while still creating waffles that are soft on the inside and crispy on the outside.
You won’t be able to tell the difference than typical waffles!
Yes, swap the milk for a dairy-free version (oat, almond, or soy milk). Use a vegan butter or neutral tasting oil.
Be sure your baking powder is not expired. Also, ensure you are measuring flour correctly. Do not scoop directly into the bowl. Spoon the flour into the measuring cup and level it off to prevent getting too much flour. Lastly, once you pour the flour into your waffles, mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

Maple syrup vs. Pancake syrup?
The biggest difference is simply the ingredients. Maple syrup has just 1 ingredient…..maple syrup! If you take a look at the back of the bottle of pancake syrup, the first 2 ingredients listed will likely be corn syrup and high fructose corn syrup. On an ingredient label, the ingredients are listed from the highest quantity to the lowest quantity. Therefore, those are the main ingredients in pancake syrup.
Pancake syrup does come in a variety of options including “low sugar”. If cost is a large factor, pancake syrup will be cheaper! And many simply prefer the taste of pancake syrup over maple syrup. Including my husband who says, “I like the fake stuff!”
