Fluffy Vegan Vanilla Waffles

1.In a large bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

2.In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: plant-based milk, neutral oil, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar. The vinegar will react slightly with the milk, mimicking buttermilk.

3.Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Whisk gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are perfectly fine for fluffy waffles.

4.Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly brush the grids with a small amount of oil or cooking spray.

5.Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron (use the amount recommended by your specific iron model) and close the lid.

6.Cook for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the steam subsides and the waffles are golden brown and crisp.

7.Carefully remove the waffles and place them on a wire rack to keep them crisp while you cook the remaining batter.

8.Serve immediately topped with maple syrup, fresh berries, and a dusting of powdered sugar.
