I hope this will help you with your next non-stick waffle maker. A very experienced WFPB No Oil Chef gave the best advice advice in her Weekend Brunch Cooking Class about how to keep a waffle iron NON STICK. “When you have a NEW never used non-stick waffle iron, do not spray it with any spray or apply any oil to it prior to cooking any waffles. It will always remain non-stick as long as you don’t use oil or spray it. Once you apply oil or spray to it, you destroy the non-stick surfaces ability to be non stick….You have to FULLY cook the waffles….” FYI: I’ve followed her advice & cook WFPB waffles every Sunday for our Brunch. I set my Cuisinart Griddler with Waffle inserts to 400º. Once preheated, I cook waffles from 7 minutes 30 seconds or some for 6 minutes 30 seconds. I gently lift the lid and if the waffle separates it’s not cooked all the way through. I close the lid and cook it for another minute and check it again. Usually 1 minute extra is enough, but I’ve had some WFPB no oil batter take 8 minutes total. I’ve made Chocolate, Almond Nut, Granola and Sourdough Discard Waffles many times and none have ever stuck in my waffle maker. I wash it with hot water & soap after every use. Per Chef Julia’s advice I’ve never used spray or oil and it’s perfect every time.

In reply to Alicia Lee. All waffle batter should work as pancakes. I have not made sheet pan pancakes, but if you try make sure to line with parchment paper as this batter has no oil.

I don’t have a waffle maker, and honestly had no room in my kitchen for anything else!! Could this recipe be used for pancakes??? Also, do you also think this would work as sheet pan pancakes??

In reply to Beverly Holiday. Honestly, I am not sure. I do usually spay a bit of oil on mine.

Please suggest a waffle iron that will not stick with an oil free recipe…I have bought and returned two!

In reply to Tracy.

I’ve made them with frozen blueberries with no issues. The batter is very thick and can take a bit longer than normal waffles to cook depending on your waffle iron. I did have a tester that didn’t cook them long enough have them break open when she looked at them before they were done.

I’m sorry these didn’t work well for you and would be glad to troubleshoot them with you if you want. Do you know how many minutes you cooked them, what temp, and the make of your waffle iron? If so feel free to email me directly at kathyhester@gmail.com

I have a non stick waffle iron and have never ever had an issue. These were a DISASTER! I even sprayed with coconut oil lightly on the iron. I could not even get these out of the waffle iron and it was a huge mess. I used frozen blueberries as the recipe said I could use. Should these have been defrosted??? I will not try these again since it was a mess to clean up.

In reply to Char. I think you could use a gluten-free baking mix. Let me know what you use and how it goes!

Do you think I could substitute the almond flour? I can’t eat any nuts.
