Here’s a recipe for Vegan Sourdough Waffles so crisp on the outside, so fluffy on the inside and so delicious all around, you’ll probably never want to make any other kind ever again. I made a batch of sourdough starter a few weeks back, with nothing but flour and water. Everything went very well and I had a bubbling, happy sourdough starter within a week. The first thing I decided to make with it were these vegan sourdough waffles – with whole wheat flour. They were so good, I’ve been making them nearly every weekend since, more often than I’ve even been making my go-to vegan waffles (which are uber delicious, btw!) There’s an alchemy that takes place when you add sourdough to baked goods. They become lighter, airier, and flavorful without becoming tangy, as you would expect (unless you add a ton of the sourdough, which you don’t in these waffles). We also discussed the importance of probiotics and prebiotics in food and their effect on your overall health in a recent post: sourdough has a ton of those probiotic bacteria because it’s fermented, while whole wheat provides the perfect prebiotic fiber for those bacteria to thrive on.

In the beginning, when I made these waffles, I added a couple of tablespoons of oil to them, but I stopped after a while and they turn out just as delicious without the oil, so I’ve made it an optional ingredient.
