The Best Vegan Orange Belgian Waffles

These Vegan Orange Belgian Waffles are just too good to pass up! Each waffle is fluffy, thick, and airy; comes bursting with orange flavor and slight sweetness that gives this breakfast (or brunch) dish the perfect taste. Super easy to make and completely vegan.

It’s a brand new week and the countdown til Spring begins officially this week! Yay! After much cold weather these past few months, I couldn’t be any happier for a bit more warmth, although I know that the rainy months are ahead—hence the saying, ‘April showers bring May flowers’.

More importantly, I’m super excited about getting started on my Spring baking! And yes—it’s a whole ‘thing’ in the baking community! Haha.

Looking back to last year’s Spring baking, I must say that this year will be all about new flavors, a lot of twists, and a bit of complexity (when it comes to certain recipes or at least the execution/food styling).

I’m so happy to see my growth over the past year and I can’t wait to see how much I grow in the coming year! These past few days have definitely been about being grateful for how far I’ve come in general (Life and all!) and I’m encouraging you to do the same. Granted, we might not be where we want to be, but more times than not—we aren’t where we were.

OK, now back to the food! I know—I’m a total foodie.

If you’ve been an avid reader of Orchids + Sweet Tea, then you’ve seen some of our Spring recipes from last year or maybe not. Regardless—-I’d recommend trying this Baked Strawberry Banana French Toast Casserole which is not only a great dish to kick start to your day with , but a dish that will surely make your morning much brighter, even on the most gloomiest of days.

Then of course, there’s this delicious BBQ Loaded Chicken Taco Fries recipe which has become a true fan-favorite! These fries are beyond anything your fingers have ever held to your mouth. Looking for something sweet? Let’s not forget about these  Strawberry Sweet Rolls with Lemon Cream Cheese Glaze which are absolutely moist and sticky, made with a homemade tender dough, a sweet strawberry filling with chunks of strawberries tucked away in between, and a sweet + tangy glaze that adds a punch of great flavor to this recipe.

You’re sure to LOVE the flavor in these Sweet Potato Berry Breakfast Boats. Packed with velvety roasted insides of the sweet potato, tartness of the blueberries + blackberries, along with the nuttiness of the peanut butter and top things off—a slather of greek yogurt for a touch of sweetness; these breakfast boats are the perfect way to kick start your day, meal prep for the week ahead, or even to enjoy for brunch.

These Light + Fluffy Funfetti Vegan Waffles are so thick and soft, they’ll leave you believing that they couldn’t possibly be entirely vegan and completely egg and dairy-free. Made with just a handful of ingredients, this waffle recipe is not only easy, but it is a fun, new way to eat first thing in the morning.

Granted, there are so many recipes to choose from and you can feel free to browse our Recipe Archives.

Now, let’s dig right into this recipe, shall we?

1. Preheat your waffle maker to desired setting–medium-high heat worked for me!
2. Whisk together the organic all-purpose flour, whole wheat pastry flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and sea salt in a large bowl and set aside.
3. Add the coconut oil, Almond milk, vanilla extract, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and freshly squeezed orange juice in the center of the dry mixture (after creating a well) and stir together well (using a spatula) until fully incorporated. Now, let the batter sit for 2-3 minutes while it slightly thickens and rises, which means that the ingredients have activated.
4. Next, spoon batter into your waffle maker (1/4 cup approximately) and cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions.
5. Once each waffle completes, add to a baking sheet and place them in the oven on the lowest setting (to keep them warm). Repeat until all waffles are made.
6. To serve–stack waffles (whole or cut), add sliced oranges and/or strawberries, and drizzle with maple syrup.
7. Bon appetite!
