Why We Love Apple Buckwheat Waffles

Fantastically easy to make, absolutely nourishing, and tasty to boot!

Buckwheat gives these apple cinnamon waffles a delicious, rich, nutty flavor.

It’s a vegan waffle recipe, hence friendly for all vegetarians and vegans.

Apples get caramelized, imparting the gluten-free waffles a feel that indulges all the senses. Paired with the cinnamon, the taste was out of this world.

Recipe Ingredients

Ingredients for making apple cinnamon waffles.

Flour: The buckwheat flour makes the waffles hearty and lends them an amazing earthy flavor. This recipe works well with all-purpose and wholewheat flour too.

Baking soda and powder:  These are the leavening agents that give the apple waffles all the lift they need, making them deliciously fluffy.

Apples: I used 2 medium-sized apples. You could certainly use more to give the buckwheat waffles recipe a stronger apple flavor punch.

Sweetener: Good substitutes for maple syrup are honey and sugar.

Milk: Coconut milk adds richness to the waffles. Any milk you have at hand is fine...regular or plant-based.

Oil: You can replace the coconut oil with melted butter or any neutral-tasting oil.

Coconut cream: Lightly whipped sweetened coconut cream is a lovely topping. You can use regular dairy cream as well.

How To Make Apple Cinnamon Buckwheat Waffles

Step 1: Set the waffle maker to preheat.

Step 2: Sift and mix buckwheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon powder, and salt.

Step 3: Next, blend coconut oil, coconut milk, coarsely chopped apples, and maple syrup.

Step 4: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry to make a thick buckwheat waffle batter. Please don't overmix.

Step 5: Rest the batter for 10 minutes. This helps the flour absorb the liquid and activate baking powder and soda.

Step 6: Grease your waffle iron and pour the batter into the cavities.

Step 7: Cook until golden and crisp.

Final step: Serve with sautèed apples, sweetened whipped coconut cream, and maple syrup, and enjoy!

Apple Cinnamon Waffles With Buckwheat

Pro Tips

  • Keep the batter thick. That’s how you get those crunchy apple cinnamon waffles.
  • If you prefer a thinner batter, just add a splash more of the milk.
  • Don't overmix the batter.
  • Rest the batter for 10 minutes. This helps the flour absorb the liquid and activate baking powder and soda.
  • To prevent your cooked waffles from getting soggy, slide them into a preheated oven. this will keep the waffles warm and crisp.

Toppings For The Waffles

I topped these beauties with thick, maple-cinnamon coconut cream and sautéed cinnamon apples. I’m telling you, it was sublime. In the mood for something less fancy, try:

  • A drizzle of maple syrup
  • Greek yogurt, or just whipped cream
  • A slathering of peanut butter would be a lovely accompaniment to the apple and cinnamon flavors.

Recipe FAQs

How to make sautéed apple topping?

The apples I bought were exceptionally sweet, with succulent flesh and crisp, firm skin. Sautéing them made the crispy exterior just a tad soft and beautifully golden. To sauté:
-Stir diced apples in heated coconut oil for 2-3 minutes.
-Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon powder.
-Add a few walnuts. 

How to make cinnamon coconut cream?

Chill your coconut cream tin. Scoop out only the top, thick part. Whisk it with cinnamon powder and maple syrup. Drizzle on top of the sautéed apples as the finishing touch to these vegan apple cinnamon waffles.

Can these waffles be made ahead of time?

Absolutely! Cool the gluten-free waffles and store them in an air-tight container in the refrigerator or freezer. They will last 3-4 days in the fridge and for 1 month if frozen.
For reheating, pop the waffle in the toaster. Thaw the frozen waffles for 10 minutes on the countertop before putting them in the toaster.

    Absolutely delicious! I added a frozen banana instead of honey and butter/oil. Though the waffles did not get crisp even after cooking for about 30 mins - anything that could be done differently? I did add a little more milk than specified as I felt that the batter was a little thick.

      Banana sounds wonderful here! But it would've made the waffles more moist for sure. Maybe next time, add some oil too. I think that would help in crisping up the waffles.:)

    Hello, where did you get such a thick waffle iron ? All the ones on the markets churn out thin crispy waffles and I am looking for something like these, with a deeper mold so you get this kind of thick spongy waffle instead of thin and crispy.
