Ingredients Needed
My homemade cornbread waffles recipe uses minimal, easy to find ingredients for ease. Here's what you'll need:
- Cornmeal: All you need as the base of this recipe is cornmeal. This is a naturally gluten free way to make delicious waffles. I like Arrowhead Mills!
- Canned Coconut Milk: The canned coconut milk is thick and has lots of flavor. Before opening the can, shake the can to make sure the milk is a cohesive mixture.
- Baking Powder: A bit of baking powder helps to make these waffles nice and fluffy!
- Optional: Option here to add some vegan butter and maple syrup to the batter for extra flavor. Then, top the waffles off with vegan butter and maple syrup along with all of your favorite waffle toppings!
How to Make This Recipe
Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, mix the canned coconut milk and baking powder. Stir in the Arrowhead Mills cornmeal and mix until a smooth batter forms. Option to add melted vegan mutter and maple syrup to the batter if preferred.
Step 2: Spoon the batter into a hot waffle iron that has been sprayed with coconut oil spray. Cook each waffle until golden and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per waffle.
Expert Tips
- Cooking time may vary! Depending on your waffle iron, it might take a longer or shorter amount of time to cook these cornbread waffles.
- Keep them warm! You can keep the waffles warm while making the rest of the batch by placing a wire rack on a baking sheet and putting the already cooked waffles on top and in a 200 degree oven.
- Serve them sweet! You can top these waffles off with vegan butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, and vegan whipped cream.
- Serve them savory! Or, you can serve cornbread waffles as a savory breakfast with vegan sausage, tofu scramble, and vegan cheese on top.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I prevent waffles from sticking to the waffle iron?
To ensure your waffles don't stick to the waffle iron, spray the iron with a nonstick cooking spray like coconut oil spray or vegan butter in between each waffle!
How to store leftover cornbread waffles?
Cool the waffles completely after cooking and then transfer them to an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 5 days. To freeze, you can place each waffle in individual baggies or separate each waffle with parchment paper in a large freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months.

I absolutely love this recipe! It is quick, simple, and so good. I have tried so many cornbread recipes with no oil and I haven't been able to find one that wasn't dry. This one is crisp on the outside and so tender on the inside. I love it! Thanks!Reply
