Remember those Apple Butter Cookies I made a while back? Well, I had a half a jar of apple butter hanging about the ‘fridge, causing me a lot of stress and anxiety about what I was going to do with it. More cookies? Throw it into a smoothie? Let it get moldy and then have a valid reason to compost it? Since Sunday was coming up (and Sunday is the anything-but-the-usual-bowl-of-oatmeal day), I thought it might make a nice addition to a stack of toasty waffles. The apple butter provides the flavor, the sweetness and the fat substitute and – it makes the waffles get a little caramelized around the edges.

Vegan Apple Butter Waffles
- Yield: 4 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon powdered stevia, optional
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 Tbsp. egg replacer (I use Bob’s) + 9 tablespoons water (whisk together until thick, set aside for a few minutes)
- 1 cup non-dairy milk
- 1 cup “buttermilk”
- 1 cup unsweetened apple butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200-degrees F, put your plates inside to get warm and fire up the waffle iron.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, stevia and salt. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the egg replacer, milk, buttermilk and apple butter.
- Let batter sit for about 15 minutes.
- Lightly spritz waffle iron with cooking oil. Pour batter onto iron so that it almost reaches the edges. Close and cook for about 4 minutes. Gently remove and place directly on rack in preheated oven. Continue with remaining batter.
- Serve with your favorite waffle toppings.
Notes
- Number of waffles will depend on the size/shape of your waffle iron.
- I recommend my easy, sugar-free Apple Butter for these waffles. Recipe link is in post.
Yum-oh-rama! I love your brain, my friend. ♥
The feeling is mutual :-)!
These waffles are gorgeous! I want 10 of them!
Comin’ right up!
Oh man, what a great idea!
Thank you, Allison! My tummy agrees with you!
These waffles sound amazing! They’re actually making me want to can some apple butter sometime this fall. SOON.
I know – – I think it’s time for me to whip up a batch as well. Guess I’d better learn how to can ;-)!
I want to bite in to one of them right now!! They must be so delicious made with apple butter!! LoveXX
I love your apple butter creations you genius 😀
Cheers

🙂 Thank you, my hard-studying friend! Hope all is well – –
YUMMMMMM! Sounds like fall on a plate. Thanks so much!
Crispy, crunchy waffley goodness. I’m going to have to start experimenting with coconut flour!! 🙂
Jennifer, I need to try coconut flour as well. Haven’t for some reason. I did just make gluten-free adzuki bean chocolate bars with rice and barley flours. Have to say I’m underwhelmed – though I sense potential.
They sound delicious!! Rice and barley are off my list. I think I’ll have to stick with coconut flour or the “seed” flours like buckwheat and quinoa. Keep me updated on your progress, especially if you experiment with either of those flours! 🙂
Oh, delish. I am trying to get thru last year’s applesauce before we have to pick this year’s apple crop–perfect!
This looks amazing! I love apple butter, I can only imagine how awesome it tastes in a waffle!
I would eat these with more apple butter slathered on top! Probably defeating the purpose, but oh well.
Oh no, that’s a great idea!
I can only imagine how flavourful these must have been! They just scream fall to me!
This makes me wish I still had some apple butter left over from when I went to visit the Amish. It was so yummy. As these waffles must be. I also don’t have a waffle maker. Double fail 🙁
That’s it. I don’t know how I didn’t end up with any of Erika’s apple butter, but she’s going to have hell to pay if she doesn’t get me a jar soon.
I need those waffles for crying out loud! The carmelization is gorgeous!
What a wonderful weekend treat and a most satisfying solution to the leftovers problem.
I seriously need to invest in a waffle maker 🙂
Indeed! It’s a very important kitchen tool!
I don’t have a waffle maker… but I guess it’s time to get one. Love these.
Might be a good idea ;-). But you could also make pancakes with this batter…
Noooo… your waffles look so darn tempting. Wish I lived next door.
Thanks, Averil! That would be fun, wouldn’t it?!
…And now I’m craving waffles. Those look so divine, I can imagine that with some caramelized apple slices on top, and maybe a bit of maple syrup, these would be heavenly!
Mmmm, caramelized apples! Yum!!
Just catching up on blog reading and your past several posts are just amazing! Everything is so beautiful as always, Annie!!
Hey, Rachel! Thanks, hon – luv you!
Ooo I’d like to make this for Chris, I’m sure he’ll love it…I’m especially thrilled about the flavor and texture around the edges hehe.
Cannot wait to try these. The idea of crispy caramelized apple-buttery edges has me abut swoony. Yum.
Hmmm, now I’m ready to eat some more ;-)!
Waw! Your vegan apple butter waffles look amazing, awesome even & so appetizing too! 🙂
MMMMMM! I can’t wait to make them! 😉
I have made your summer veggie polenta & it was a huge success! My hubby agreed! with me 🙂 xxx
Yippee!! That’s awesome, Sophie! Glad you both liked it.
These waffles look so good! I love waffles but I don’t have a waffle iron because, I know this is stupid, but it’s hard to find waffle machines here in Portugal! 🙁
Anyway, these waffles must taste heavenly with apple butter, great recipe!
