Are you looking for an Easy Belgian Waffle Recipe that has no Baking Powder, no Eggs, and no Milk?
If you really love waffles—but there are certain ingredients that you don’t eat — then this is the article for you!
Many people believe that there are 3 options to enjoying delicious homemade waffles in the morning.
The first option is the easy waffle option. You buy premade, frozen Belgian waffles and then heat them up in the toaster. The problem is, you don’t really know what ingredients they have in them and you have no control over it.
The second is the kind of easy waffle option. You buy premade batter (basically all the dry ingredients in a powdered form, including baking powder and baking soda). You add the wet ingredients like eggs, milk, oil or butter, and then mix together and pour into your heated waffle maker.
The third option is the hardest easy waffle option. You make your own waffle batter from scratch. Doing this you can absolutely ensure what’s in it, including that you have waffles without baking powder, without baking soda, without milk, and without eggs, if you wish. This is the most difficult option but the one that gives you the most control over your waffle recipe.
You don’t always need the traditional ingredients to enjoy warm, crispy waffles because there are many substitute ingredients that can be used in your waffle recipe.
So, if you’re allergic to some traditional waffle ingredients, there’s always something you can use as an alternative. The same goes for vegans who want to avoid dairy or any animal products used in traditional waffles.
I know many people who have serious restrictions and believe that they can’t enjoy waffles. Nowadays, it’s so easy to do a quick Google search and find recipes that fit your restrictions.
For example, did you ever think you could make delicious gluten-free waffles? It’s possible!
That’s the power of being able to make your own waffles at home, you control the ingredients. It’s also why we also advise to never buy frozen waffles!
The three questions we receive the most have to do with baking powder, eggs, and milk. So here we go!
Can You Make Waffles Without Baking Powder?
Yes, you can make waffles without baking powder!
The funny thing is, most people will ask this question when they don’t have any baking powder or they don’t have the time to rush to the store to buy some. But, you can make tasty waffles without baking powder in the batter. As we said earlier, there’s always a substitute ingredient.
This recipe is an Easy Kitchen Appliances original recipe.

Can You Make Waffles Without Eggs?
Baking and eggs go hand-in-hand. It’s almost impossible to find a cake, cookie, or waffle recipe that does not need eggs. Besides baking, eggs are an essential part of most recipes. Simply because eggs are necessary doesn’t mean that you can’t make any scrumptious baked food without eggs.
There are lots of folks out there who are allergic to waffles, desserts, and baked goods that have eggs. Or someone who’s a Vegan, or can’t have eggs because of medical or personal reasons.
So, if you’re one of those people who can’t or don’t want to consume eggs or you just simply ran out and don’t want to make a store run right now, allow me to cheer you up!

How to make waffles without milk
Similar to eggs, most recipes require milk to prepare. Milk is a primary ingredient in most sweets, chocolates, desserts, baked foods, and other food items we regularly consume.
However, not everyone is tolerant of milk or products that have diary content in them. In fact, it is estimated that more than 75% of adults are lactose intolerant to some degree and approximately 60% of the population can’t digest milk properly. This isn’t surprising given the fact that our bodies lose their capability to digest milk post-infancy.
Even for those who have the ability to consume milk without a problem, many choose not to.
Also, with Keto and Paleo lifestyles growing in the United States and throughout the world, healthy individuals are choosing to abstain from milk altogether!.
So can you make waffles without milk?
People assume that waffles that don’t have milk are for Vegans or for people who are lactose intolerant. But, you’ll find plenty of individuals, who want to have a healthy diet and lead healthier lifestyles, and are die-hard waffle lovers. So yes, you can make a waffle recipe with no milk.
No milk waffles Pro Tip!
Just so you know, whenever you see a Paleo recipe, it’s likely that it’s a recipe that does not contain milk. So if you’re ever in a jam and need to quickly Google a recipe, just add “Paleo” to the front of it and you can rest assured that it will NOT contain milk.
This recipe below is another Easy Kitchen Appliances original waffle recipe. Hopefully, you enjoy it!
