Dairy-Free Waffles are super easy to make. They are made with blueberries and oat milk and are sweetened with maple syrup. Fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside, they are perfect for all your favorite toppings.
Are you team waffle or team pancake? Personally, for me, it depends on the day. Whichever team you are on, these waffles are sure to delight. They are the perfect waffles for the whole family. They are great to enjoy on a Saturday morning or for Mother's or Father's Day brunch.
However, if you prefer pancakes, you will love my Oat Flour Pancakes and Whole Wheat Banana Pancakes.

Why You'll Love this Recipe
- Dairy-free. We are using oat milk in these homemade waffles so it is perfect for anyone who can't eat dairy.
- Effortless recipe. This is the easiest one-bowl recipe made with just 7 simple ingredients.
- Make head. You can easily freeze leftovers, and double or triple the batch to store for later when you need to quickly grab breakfast.
Ingredients and Substitutions
- Flour- I used white whole wheat flour. However, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour and a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend will all work for this recipe.
- Oat milk- I used oat milk instead of dairy milk in this recipe. You can use any non-dairy milk such as almond milk, cashew milk or coconut milk
- Maple syrup- I like to sweeten my waffles with maple syrup instead of sugar. We are already pouring it on top so might as well add it into the batter.
- Blueberries- I recommend fresh whole blueberries. I love blueberries but you can use any fresh berries and add them to the batter.

Instructions
- Begin by adding all of the waffle ingredients (aside from the blueberries) to a large bowl and whisk until combined and the batter is smooth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! You can make the batter a day or two ahead of time. Store it in an airtight container in the fridge until you are ready to make the waffles.
I recommend reheating leftover waffles in the toaster oven for about 2 minutes until crispy. You can also reheat them on a rack in the oven.
If you reheat them in the microwave they will most likely be soggy and soft.
Yes, use your favorite gluten-free flour for gluten-free waffles.
I used a Belgian waffle maker for this recipe but I also love this mini waffle maker by Dash.
Storage and Reheating
Make sure the waffles are completely cool before storing them. I like to store my waffles in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag. They will last about 5 days in the fridge and a few months in the freezer.
Top Tips
- Allow your waffle maker to heat up completely before pouring the batter. Most will have lights that tell you when they are ready.
- Spray cooking spray each time you add batter to the waffle maker so they don't stick.
- For best results, use room temperature milk and eggs.
- To achieve crispy waffles, make sure you don't stack them on top of each other after cooking. The steam from each waffle will make them soggy.
Serving
I love to serve my blueberry waffles with more fresh blueberries on top and real maple syrup. Sometimes I will even melt frozen blueberries and mix them with syrup to make a delicious and simple blueberry syrup.
There are so many different toppings for waffles, play around and use your favorites!
Serve the waffles as soon as they are done cooking for the best results.
