Yep, you've already troubleshot your problem--important to spray a bit of oil on both grids before each waffle, even with non-stick surfaces. Hi, Elyse.

I confess I landed here because I was out of eggs and wanted to make waffles anyway. I used 100% whole wheat flour (2.5 cups), water instead of soy milk, and added vanilla and about 1/4 package chocolate chips. And I used I can't believe it's not butter instead of oil. My kids are devouring them! 2 of my waffles did stick and pull apart in the middle...maybe I should have re-sprayed after the first two? Anyway, it doesn't matter, they still taste good and my son actually likes when the pull apart since he likes to put stuff in the middle and make a waffle sandwich. That said, next time I'll re-spray! Thank you for this recipe. My kids don't know they're eating something pretty darn healthy for breakfast. Good morning.

Thank you for this recipe. My kids don’t know they’re eating something pretty darn healthy for breakfast.

Thanks for visiting. While that's an ambitious number substitutions, I'll do my best to provide a bit of guidance. Evaporated milk, as far as I know, has a higher solid/liquid ratio that soymilk, so a 1:1 substitution may not work. You *might* get a sub. of half evap. milk and half water (with total of the two adding to the original soymilk amt. called for in the recipe) to work pretty well. Yes, oil can simply be substituted 1:1 veg. for canola. The flour types can also be substituted 1:1, with possible slight differences in liquid absorbed and noticeable differences in texture. Sub'ing white sugar for brown sugar may not work b/c brown sugar has a higher acid content that reacts w/ the baking soda to provide leavening. Your waffles may not be fluffy enough w/ white sugar. If you have some molasses, google subs. of molasses plus white sugar for brown sugar. Hope that helps! Hi, Michelle.

I just wanted to ask: I do not have whole wheat flower, soymilk, canola oil, and brown sugar, however, I do have all purpose flower, evaporated milk, vegatable oil, and regular sugar. Will these be ok to use for this recipe? : / And, if it is ok to use all purpose flower, would I double the amount of flower I put into this recipe (ex: 1 cup of all purpose flower PLUS 1.5 cups of all purpose flower to replace the whole wheat flower) ?

As many store bought milks use thickeners, my hunch is that your homemade nutmilk will be slightly thinner. Happy vegan waffling! Also, homemade hazelnut milk sounds very delicious. Davi,

While I've had good luck w/ coconut *milk* w/ some recipes (replacing much of the soymilk as well as the oil, to bring the total fat content back up to a desired level), I personally haven't tried substituting coconut oil for the canola oil yet. I don't know of any reason a direct substitution shouldn't work, and would love to hear what results you get. Sometimes different oils can yield different results when you're doing things like frying at high temps due to the different "smoke points" of some oils, but I haven't yet heard of significant differences for waffle baking. You'll still want to spray the iron grids w/ some type of oil (pressurized can works best for good even coating) prior to each waffle. Dave Erin,

Wed, 03 Aug 2011 00:09:14 +0000 http://waffleparty.com/?p=277#comment-14183 Thanks so much for this wonderful recipe and your amazing site. We just found out that our youngest is allergic to eggs, dairy and nuts so we have spent the summer transitioning the family to a vegan diet and trying to adapt our already vegetarian diet to satisfy all of our kids dietary needs. Needless to say our older children have been struggling a bit with the change. However, there were no complaints when these waffles were served today. In fact it was an all out race to see who could finish their first waffle so that they could grab another from the stack. We were wondering if you have any advice when it comes to substituting coconut oil for the canola oil. Are there problems with the waffles sticking or binding if we make the substitution? Again thanks for such a great resource we will definitely be ordering a copy of your cookbook. Thanks so much for this wonderful recipe and your amazing site.
