Ain’t nobody got time for that.

Vegan Hash Brown Waffles: My Reason to Wake Up!

First of all, you might be asking: “WTF are vegan hash brown waffles!?”

Let me break it down for you: vegan hash browns, cooked in a waffle iron.

Next, you might be asking: “WTF is the point of making vegan hash browns into waffles!?”

The short answer is I’m all about simplicity!

Seriously! Anything that makes my routine (especially my morning routine) easier is a win for me!

That’s why I am ecstatic to share this vegan hash brown waffle recipe with you!

They’re:

Easier to make than regular hash browns

Delicious

Perfectly crispy

Shaped for topping!

No More Goopy Vegan Hash Browns!

The real reason I’m in love with this recipe? I suck at making regular vegan hash browns.

Who knows why, but they never cook together and crisp up. I always somehow end up with a soggy, oiled down mess. Disgusting!

The only time they turned out well in the past was when I used frozen hash browns.. and does that even count as cooking? Not in my book!

After some experimentation, I discovered the secrets to homemade vegan hash browns.

1. Rinse Your Potato Shreds!

If you don’t rinse the excess starch off of the potato shreds, you’ll end up with a gummy hash brown. Hey, maybe that’s your favorite.. I don’t judge. I’m a bigger fan of the crunchy, crispy variety, however, so I rinse.

Some suggest soaking, but rinsing until the water runs clear will do the same thing (in a lot less time!)

2. Use Arrowroot Powder as a Binder

Non-vegan hash brown waffles are traditionally binded with eggs. First of all: GROSS. I want hash browns, not scrambled eggs!!

The best vegan alternative I’ve found is: *drumroll* Arrowroot Powder!

Arrowroot Powder is:

Naturally gluten-free

Abundant in several B-vitamins

Rich in minerals (specifically copper, iron, manganese, magnesium, phosphorus, and zinc)

A fantastic binder in recipes (woot woot!)

Now that you have delicious, crispy hash browns, next thing to do is dress them up!
