Vegan Pumpkin Waffles
Description
Vegan Pumpkin Waffles mix ground flax seeds soaked in water with vanilla-flavored plant-based creamer and pureed pumpkin. The dry ingredients include all-purpose or whole wheat flour, granulated and brown sugars, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin spice, lending warmth and depth to the batter.
The batter is combined carefully without overmixing to keep the waffles light. Cooking on a preheated waffle iron produces a tender yet structured waffle featuring autumnal flavors from pumpkin and spice.
These waffles can be served traditionally with maple syrup and fruit jams or compotes. For added texture, toppings like pecans or pumpkin seeds work well. Adjusting the sugar downward and adding herbs such as chives can pivot them to a savory option, suitable with vegan cheese.
The recipe’s versatility makes it adaptable for different meals or flavor preferences while maintaining the core pumpkin flavor and moist texture from the plant-based ingredients.
Ingredients
- 2 ½ tablespoons water warm
- 1 tablespoon flax seeds ground
- 1 ¾ cups plant-based creamer vanilla flavor, Plant Folk brand
- ⅓ cup pumpkin pureed
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour whole wheat will work
- 1 ½ tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
Instructions
- Turn on your waffle iron.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the warm water and ground flax seeds until thoroughly combined. Set aside for 10 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the Plant Folk creamer, pureed pumpkin, and vanilla extract. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, both sugars, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin spice.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the milk mixture and flax mixture. Whisk gently, just until combined. Make sure to not overmix.
- Scoop the desired amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron. Follow your waffle iron instructions to cook. Repeat with the remaining batter until all the waffles are cooked.
Notes
- Try serving with maple syrup and fruit preserves for a classic sweet option.
