Oooh, nooo! Not a banana vegan Liege waffle!
Makes the equivalent of 4 (7-inch) round Belgian waffles.
If there were a way to make bananas foster in a waffle iron, this would be getting pretty close. This vegan waffle recipe has all the features of a traditional Liege waffle, with additional flavor to drive your taste buds—yes, bananas. They’re rich and complete on their own, but for mega decadence, top with vegan vanilla ice cream and a swirl of rum extract.

Over the last few months, I’ve been wrestling with the identity of the Global Vegan Waffle Party. At points, I allowed myself to become drawn into just wanting it to be more popular, but now a primary goal is to make sure it continues to have a meaningful and relevant message. While I was jogging on a recent morning, thoughts on three events came together to create clarity.
First, Sunday, March 20 marked what would have been Mister (Fred) Rogers’ 83rd birthday.

These yeast-raised treats incorporate pearled sugar, formed into tiny spheres and larger than granulated sugar. Upon baking, the sugar forms small caramelized chunks throughout the waffle. Lieges also utilize more animal-derived dairy and eggs than a standard waffle, making them especially great to veganize. Continue reading
I know, I probably get over excited about these things, being a relatively new author, especially as rankings change from hour to hour. But, my jaw dropped early this morning when I checked the GVWC’s Canadian Amazon listing. I noted that the top two spots in their (non-vegan) “Brunch” category were both occupied by vegan cookbooks: Vegan Brunch and the Global Vegan Waffle Cookbook. Canadian vegans rock! Thanks for an awesome morning. Continue reading
