Vegan Belgian Waffles
Vegan Belgian Waffles are the go-to brunch food for our vegan friends. These waffles are based on our Homemade Belgian Waffles a classic hit with our customers.
We have made our Vegan Belgian Waffles by replacing the eggs with apples sauce, the milk with almond milk and the honey with pure maple syrup.
Although the European variety of Belgian waffles are served plain, we love loading up on topping. Add some fresh berries, sliced tropical fresh coconut or whipped cream. And don’t forget the real, pure, Canadian maple syrup.

Why does the original recipe include honey, yet the vegan version has maple syrup in the ingredient list?

Vegans avoid animal products including meat, milk, dairy and eggs. When it comes to honey, many vegans feel that taking honey from bees exploits what they do. They feel that the bees make honey for hives, not for human consumption.
