While we didn’t quite get to 25 hosts, we still got several more, so I’m still giving away the $30 Amazon gift card. Congrats to Karine Brighten (Berkeley Vegan Earth Day), and thanks to all of you!

Thanks, Dave! My waffle iron and its nonstick coating are in pristine condition because I always wash it by soaking off the baked-on waffle. I’d be more willing to blame the batter if the same thing hadn’t happened with 3 different batters. I’m now leaning towards an antique cast iron stovetop waffle maker, which is nonstick after it’s properly seasoned. Thanks for your help & advice, and for the recipe!

Doris,
Thanks for sharing your experiences, and sorry to hear things haven’t worked out yet. Hard to diagnose without seeing it, but sometimes following a few major burns/sticks with an iron, it can be difficult to get it totally clean without damaging the surface of the iron. Scratches and gouges from overly harsh cleaning increase the likelihood of sticking, as do remnants of burned and stuck-on batter, so it can be kind of a catch 22 if the iron hasn’t always been gently cleaned. Also, it is possible to put on *too* much oil, which is why I suggest spray-on oil rather than brushed on. Adding and substituting different amounts of binders like flaxseed and egg replacer significantly change recipe properties and can increase likelihood of sticking. The wheat germ, as flaxseed, absorbs some moisture, which also changes properties and potential likelihood of sticking. You might try a new (or very well cared for used) iron or a friend’s newer iron with a relatively basic yeast-raised recipe w/o substitutions and just a bit of spray on oil on each grid (no more than two seconds of spray on each side), and go from there by trying a non-yeast-raised recipe in its original form. Happy vegan waffling!

Thanks for the recipe, Dave! I think there is something wrong with my waffle iron. This is the 3rd vegan waffle recipe I’ve tried, and it just doesn’t work. My waffle iron is 1000 watts, has a nonstick coating, and is 17 years old. It’s a Salton, and makes thin (not Belgian) waffles, in the shape of 5 hearts joined together at the bottom point. I’ve tried the recipe above (with a minor substitution – I had less than a cup of ww flour, so I substituted white AP flour for the missing ww flour, with a couple of tablespoons of wheat germ and ground golden flax seeds added); I tried to veganize a waffle recipe using Ener-G egg replacer; and I tried another vegan waffle recipe from a long time ago. All three recipes resulted in a waffle iron that baked shut and could not be released without pouring water into the edges until the soaked waffle fell apart. I keep greasing the waffle iron with more and more oil. The most recent time, using the recipe above,I put so much oil on the waffle iron, the oil overflowed after I poured the batter in and closed it. And still, it baked shut. I’m now searching eBay for a used waffle iron.

Sarah, I do know that at least one of the Dr. Cow’s macadamia nut varieties is advertised as having some sharpness, and I’m currently experimenting w/ some of the recipes from the sites/sources above.

I’ve been making these for a few months now, and they’re absolutely delicious. We hadn’t had waffles in a few years due to my son’s food allergies, so I’m psyched that they’re back on the menu again. Thanks so much!
