What Is The Best Belgian Waffle Maker to Buy?
We absolutely love this Belgian waffle maker which made perfectly crisp and fluffy waffles every time. It also has over 10k amazing reviews on Amazon, which is why we gave it a shot…. and wow am I glad we did! We had a normal waffle maker for years, but recently upgraded to this version which makes deeper, thicker Belgian waffles. I wish we had gotten it sooner. This waffle maker is simple to use, easy to clean, and makes perfect Belgian waffles in minutes. Great for sweet or savory waffles that everyone will love!
What’s In Vegan Belgian Waffles?
- Huckleberries – we picked our huckleberries straight off the plants. During the summer months, keep an eye out for huckleberries at your local store or farmer’s market. Depending on where you live, you may be able to find fresh huckleberries in season.
- All Purpose Flour: I normally use King Arthur organic all purpose flour for all my recipes, I love the consistency and texture of the crumb this flour produces. If you are gluten free, then a gluten free flour would be a nice substitute in this dish. If you want to keep it a little wholesome, you can use half whole wheat flour as well.
- Milk – I used unsweetened Almond Milk for my version of this recipe. I prefer almond milk, which Silk has a shelf-stable version that lasts up to a year in the pantry!
- Coconut Oil: I love keeping a few jars of this organic coconut oil on hand, it’s great for cooking and also a really nice skin moisturizer outside the kitchen.
- Apple Cider Vinegar, which gives these waffles a little extra tang which is really fantastic! I love using this organic apple cider vinegar with the mother which has a great flavor. I think it gives a nice extra sweetness and depth to these waffles, and makes them taste closer to buttermilk.
- Baking Powder: I like to use a no sodium baking powder in all my recipes, that way I can control the amount of salt that goes into my food.
- Maple syrup: for natural sweetness without the refined sugar, I’d definitely recommend using a natural maple syrup over sugar in this recipe. And don’t even think about using fake pancake syrup… only the real deal maple syrup in this recipe! (Being married to a Canadian, I have to add that disclaimer) 🙂
- Cinnamon: which gives these waffles a subtle spice-y flavor! I love to add in a pinch for extra warmth and depth of flavor.
- Vanilla Extract: it’s super important to use real pure vanilla extract, and not artificial baking vanilla flavor. This real all natural vanilla is a fantastic ingredient to give these cookies an #extra boost.

How Do I Make This Fresh Huckleberry Waffle Recipe?
- Preheat oven to 225 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Mix all waffle batter ingredients together in a large batter bowl.
- When your Belgian Waffle maker is ready, scoop the approved amount of batter into the maker, and close the lid carefully. Your waffle maker instructions should say exactly how much batter to use.
- Once waffle has finished cooking, place it on a sheet pan in the oven to keep it warm. Repeat steps until the batter is gone.
- Serve waffles with powdered sugar, berry compote, fresh fruit, and a drizzle of maple syrup. Rise & SHINE!
What Can You Do With Huckleberries?
Turn them into jam or waffles of course! Since huckleberries are closely related to blueberries, you can use the same amount of huckleberries in recipes as you would blueberries. You can add them to pancakes, muffins, pies, buckle, or any breakfast or dessert that calls for blueberries. I have a delicious 4-ingredient Huckleberry Jam recipe that I made last week, it went fantastic on these waffles.
