The easiest vegan pumpkin waffles ever
I’m quite obsessed with these vegan pumpkin waffles, and not just because I love all things pumpkin.
It’s quite literally the easiest waffle recipe you will ever make, and it tastes like autumn on a plate.
These pumpkin waffles are super fluffy and light yet full of sweet pumpkin pie spices and cozy cinnamon for the ultimate fall breakfast on a chilly day!
What’s more, these vegan pumpkin waffles are completely free of the Top 8 Allergens, including being gluten free, dairy free, nut free, soy free, egg free, and vegan!
What’re the ingredients for these easy vegan pumpkin waffles?
Another part of this healthy pumpkin waffle recipe that I love is how simple the plant based ingredients are. For these vegan pumpkin waffles, you’ll need:
Oat flour (if you’re not gluten free or prefer regular flour, you can use all-purpose. However, I highly recommend oat flour here- it adds a bit of a rustic taste to the waffles!)
Cinnamon + Pumpkin spice blend (you can purchase the pumpkin spice blend or make your own)
Coconut sugar
Dairy free milk with apple cider vinegar (to create a vegan buttermilk)
Flaxseed
Pumpkin puree
Leavening agents + arrowroot powder (if you don’t have arrowroot powder/starch, you can use cornstarch as well)
Once you have all of the ingredients ready, you’re 10 minutes tops away from the best pumpkin waffle recipe you’ve ever made!
How to make vegan pumpkin waffles from scratch
The full written instructions and ingredient measurements are found down below in the recipe card. However, I wanted to highlight a few tips here to ensure that your gluten free vegan waffles come out perfectly every time:
Preparing the dry ingredients: make sure that you use a whisk to ensure that the dry ingredients are mixed properly. Not using a whisk may result in the dry ingredients not being distributed evenly and will potentially alter the results of your pumpkin waffles. You can use oat flour, gluten free 1:1 flour (such as Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 baking flour) or all-purpose flour, and coconut sugar or regular sugar for swaps.
Make the vegan pumpkin waffle batter: next, you’ll add in the wet ingredients. Nothing needs to be room temperature here. I recommend getting the vegan buttermilk and flaxseed mixtures started before the dry ingredients so that you can add them right into the batter.
Heat the oil on the waffle maker for a few minutes: allow the oil to continue heating for a minute even after the waffle maker says it’s ready. This will ensure that the oil is properly heated so that your gluten free pumpkin waffles won’t stick to the waffle maker.
Follow the instructions of your own personal waffle maker: each waffle maker is at the very least slightly different so make sure that you read the manufacturer’s instructions to know how to cook the pumpkin waffles perfectly.
How long do you cook waffles in a waffle maker?
I use this Cuisinart waffle maker, which actually indicates with a light when the waffles are ready. I highly recommend a waffle maker that will let you know when the waffle is done!
That being said, if your waffle maker doesn’t have a light, the time is usually about 3-4 minutes, depending on how high you set the heat.
To test to see how long the waffles will take, use a little bit of batter to test once the waffle maker has heated.
What to top pumpkin waffles with
Of course, my favorite part about eating these vegan pumpkin waffles is getting to top my waffles!
I personally love topping my vegan pumpkin waffles with coconut cream and maple syrup!
These waffles also taste amazing with some vegan chocolate chips and peanut butter.
You can also top your vegan waffles with these combos:
Dairy free Greek-styleyogurt and maple syrup
Sliced banana, maple syrup, and extra cinnamon
Chopped walnuts or pecans and coconut cream
Raw pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries, and cinnamon
Pomegranate seeds, cinnamon and vegan butter
