Separate eggs, and add egg whites to a medium mixing bowl, and set aside. Add egg yolks to a large measuring cup.

To the large measuring cup, add almond milk (or dairy milk), vegetable oil, vanilla, along with the egg yolks. Whisk to combine the wet ingredients, and set aside.

Lightly spray the inside top and bottom of your Belgian waffle iron, and wipe off excess with a paper towel. Preheat Belgian waffle iron.

Using a handheld electric mixer, beat the egg whites into stiff peaks (about 2-3 minutes).

Whisk the wet ingredients in the measuring cup once more, then add to the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Using a silicone spatula, mix until just combined. Then add the stiffly beaten egg whites, and fold until combined. Pour into the large measuring cup.

Once ready, pour batter onto your hot waffle iron, and cook until waffle iron indicator alerts you that it’s ready. Remove waffle, and repeat process. Serve hot with a combination of your favorite garnishes.
