Finally, after a long 4 week break from the blog, I’m back! I must admit, I’ve had one of the worst cases of ‘post holiday blues’ yet… It’s been so hard to get back into the daily routine after a fun filled 2 week vacation in sunny Florida.

It didn’t help coming back to the freezing cold and wet English weather (it looks like Spring has been cancelled here by the way!) when all I could think about was sunshine and palm trees.

With so many thrilling experiences, as well as utterly relaxing and doing-nothing-for-the-whole-day beach days, Florida took my breath away. I’ll write a separate travel post about our Floridian adventures as I’d love to share some gems of the places we discovered along the way.

As expected, there are so many recipes I want to share on the blog by now, so I’ll get straight down to business, aka these quick and easy vegan chickpea waffles.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE THESE VEGAN CHICKPEA WAFFLES

I love how versatile this recipe is. You can choose to serve the waffles with sweet or savoury toppings, which makes it a perfect breakfast or lunchtime recipe.

I particularly like using these chickpea waffles in sandwiches instead of bread, especially when they’re generously covered with delicious hummus (like this cauliflower hummus or butternut squash hummus for example) in between all the other sandwich goodness!

In addition, these waffles freeze really well too. Just thaw them out (I normally do it overnight) & put in the toaster for that crispy crunchy finish.

CAN I ADJUST THIS CHICKPEA WAFFLES RECIPE TO SUIT MY TASTE BUDS?

Absolutely! It’s one of the great things about this recipe! You can put your own twist on it by adding your favourite spices into the batter. Smoked paprika, mild curry powder, Italian mixed herbs, nutritional yeast flakes for a s=cheesy twist – the combinations are endless!

    Ohhh, this is genius! We haven’t experimented too much with our waffle maker, so I can’t wait to try this. I LOVE savory breakfasts. We also happen to have a ton of chickpea flour right now, so it’s too perfect!

    Has anyone actually cooked these, or do they just gush about how they can’t wait to try? Why are these people so desperate to get on the net saying nothing?

    Tried these this weekend-no matter how much I slathered the waffle iron with coconut oil the waffles still stuck to it. What I was able to scrape off was delicious but too much work to have to scrape them off. Any suggestions?

      Hi Shannon. Many thanks for your comment and sorry to hear you’ve had to scrape them off the waffle iron. I haven’t had any issues with the waffles sticking to the waffle iron before, tried them a few times recently too. I’ll give them another go this weekend just to make sure and will report back:)

        Maybe I should add that I have a rotary waffle iron-that might make a difference as well.

    Flavors and adaptability would be 5 stars, but I did two attempts with this batter, and both times the waffles split–completely stuck on the top and bottom of the waffle iron. After spending nearly an hour total of prying crusted on waffle bits, I am frustrated and still have no waffles, just waffles shards. I was using a Cuisineart non-stick waffle maker; the first time I skipped the oil (which has never been a problem before with the non-stick), so that time is my mistake for not listening to directions. Second attempt, I slathered the coconut oil on with a pastry brush, and it still split and is just cooked on into every groove. Not sure I want to attempt again given how hard it is to clean this off. Why did it split?

      Hi there. Thank you for taking the time to post a comment and sorry to hear of the problems you experienced. I haven’t had this problem despite making this recipe several times in my VonShef waffle maker. Greasing of the waffle iron should have eliminated the problem, so not sure why the batter split. I’ll make this recipe again over the weekend and will report back. Many thanks for taking the time to share the feedback xx
