The next morning, combine the oil, vanilla, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and 1/2 cup almond milk in a small bowl. Stir into the waffle batter. Mix thoroughly, breaking up clumps. If you find your batter is too thick, add a little bit more of milk until you like the consistency.

(Optional Step): At this point, I like to make a quick strawberry sauce and let the batter sit a few more minutes. I take about 1 cup of strawberries rinsed well and sliced thin and place them in a medium sauté pan. I turn on the temperature to medium heat and I add about 1 tablespoon of sugar to the berries. I cook them until they are soft (about 5-7 minutes) and serve them with the waffles.

Depending on the size of your waffle iron, pour about 1/3 to 1/2 cup batter onto the hot iron (use a light hand at first and check your progress — this waffle batter expands rather impressively. Bake until golden and crisp.

What truly makes these waffles special is the overnight rest. By allowing the active dry yeast to develop slowly, the batter builds incredible depth of flavor and a wonderfully complex tang that simpler recipes just can't match. It’s a technique that elevates a humble breakfast into a true culinary delight, making your morning routine surprisingly simple.
Imagine waking up to the aroma of freshly cooked waffles, ready to be pulled from the iron. You'll find these waffles are beautifully light and airy, with a satisfying chewiness and that signature yeasty tang. They are substantial enough to feel like a treat, yet delicate enough not to weigh you down. Best of all, they are naturally vegan, making them a delicious option for everyone at your table.
Customization & Serving Ideas
These versatile waffles welcome your personal touch. For a different texture, you can certainly use only all-purpose flour if you prefer, instead of the blend with whole wheat pastry flour. Feel free to experiment with different milks too; while almond milk works beautifully, the recipe notes that coconut milk or other plant-based milks can be used to suit your taste or what you have on hand.
Serve these delightful waffles warm with your favorite toppings like fresh berries, maple syrup, or a dusting of powdered sugar. They are absolutely perfect for a relaxed Sunday brunch or a special holiday morning, but easy enough for any day you crave something truly comforting.
