Cinnamon vegan waffles are the perfect breakfast, brunch or dessert. Only 6 ingredients make up this easy vegan waffle recipe. They'll quickly become a weekend favorite for everyone.
They're also egg-free and dairy-free.
In my opinion, these are the best homemade vegan waffles I’ve had!
The texture is exactly what I’m looking for in a waffle. They're perfectly crisp on the outside, with a warm soft center!
And just like my cinnamon pancakes, these babies are also loaded with plenty of cinnamon flavor!
How to make the perfect vegan waffles
- In a large bowl mix the dry ingredients.
- Pour the wet ingredients in with the dry.
- Mix the ingredients to create a batter.
After mixing, allow the batter to rest a few minutes. The resting period will allow the baking powder to fully activate.
In case you didn’t know, most baking powders are double-acting. The first reaction occurs when it is mixed with a liquid. The second reaction occurs when the batter is heated.
For the waffles we want the first baking powder reaction to complete before pouring the waffle batter into the iron.
The second reaction will occur during the cooking process. The final result will be beautiful waffles with soft centers.
Optional vegan waffles toppings
- cinnamon and sugar for a churro-style waffle
- banana slices
- diced apple
- chopped nuts
- fruit preserves
- vanilla ice cream for a sweet dessert

Cinnamon Vegan Waffles
This easy cinnamon vegan waffle recipe is made with only 6 ingredients. They'll quickly become a weekend breakfast, brunch or dessert favorite.
Ingredients
dry ingredients
- 3 cups all purpose flour*
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- 3 Tablespoons coconut sugar
- 2 Tablespoons cinnamon powder
- ⅓ teaspoon himalayan pink salt
wet ingredients
- 3 cups non-dairy milk
- ¼ cup refined coconut oil, melted
Instructions
- Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and whisk until just mixed.
- Allow the batter to rest while the waffle iron heats up.
- Once heated, pour in the batter. My waffle iron takes about ½ cup of batter.
- Cook the waffle per your irons instruction. I find it best to leave them in there until most of the steam has stopped rising from the sides.
- To keep the waffles warm place them in a 200ºF preheated oven immediately after they come out of the waffle iron.
- Serve topped with banana slices, or your favorite topping, and maple syrup.
ENJOY!

Can I use a different oil versus coconut oil! Food allergies!
Where you get your protein
Absolutely! Any neutral oil will work. Enjoy, Andrea!
Maggie
For some reason my waffles were only cooking on the inside and the edges were not it’s never happened to me before. They taste delicious though. I wonder if it’s my waffle maker. I’ve had it for a few years but don’t use it that often. Thank you for your recipe.
Where you get your protein
I’m sorry to hear that, Maggie. You may be right, it sounds like a bad heating element in the waffle maker.
Carla
is ground cinnamon okay to use if I don't have cinnamon powder?
Where you get your protein
Yes, they are the same. Enjoy, Carla!
Holly Urban
These were perfect with fresh blackberries. I substituted a 1/2 cup of the flour with sprouted multigrain living flour for a crispy and mildly nutty flavor.
Where you get your protein
Fresh blackberries sound like a tasty addition! I’m so glad you enjoyed the waffles, Holly! :)
Victoria
I love the heavy cinnamon flavor in these waffles; they came out crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Instead of 3c of white flour, I used 2c white flour and 1c wheat flour. Delicious.
Where you get your protein
Yay! I love hearing the recipe was a success with your substitutions! I'm so glad you enjoyed both recipes!
