If you want to make homemade waffles without dairy, then look no further. This simple and delicious waffle recipe with no milk or butter is a great lactose-free option.
They are perfect for picky eaters and those who are lactose intolerant. If you swap the eggs for bananas, you can even make them vegan.
In this recipe, I substituted milk for water and butter for a vegan option. It came out just as fluffy and delicious as the original recipe.
