Tender, spiced vegan pumpkin waffles. Perfect for fall morningsOh, hello there, vegan pumpkin waffles.

Tender, spiced vegan pumpkin waffles. Perfect for fall morningsOh, hello there, spiced autumn goodness. Hello there, crisp cool mornings and pumpkin richness. Hello there, waffles-I-crave-every-single-non-fall-day.

How you been?

Tender, spiced vegan pumpkin waffles. Perfect for fall morningsWhenever the humidity begins to lift ever so slightly from the air and a final break from the heat is in sight, I bust out the pumpkin waffles with some serious fervor. I’d feel like a character from the Mindy Show if I made them all year long, so I tuck them away for my very favorite season of all.. autumn! Duh.

Tender, spiced vegan pumpkin waffles. Perfect for fall morningsMost vegan waffles taste an awful lot like um, flaxseed. They’re usually dense and anything but tender, but these vegan pumpkin waffles are just like their non-vegan counterparts. They’re a bit crisp on the outside, totally tender on the inside, with just enough warm autumn spice and rich pumpkin to remind you it’s almost time to start planning your badass jack-o-lantern design this year (Me? I’m on a Nightmare Before Christmas kick, but don’t think I’m quite ready to tackle Oogey Boogey Man just yet).

Tender, spiced vegan pumpkin waffles. Perfect for fall morningsThese vegan pumpkin waffles come together quickly and are perfect for a relaxed weekend breakfast. Top with real maple syrup and a little pat of vegan butter, and you’re in the crunchy-pile-of-leaves equivalent of heaven.

Make these.

    I had a little bit of difficulty pouring the melted coconut oil into the cold almond milk, but i was able to break up the chunks with my spoon. Next time, I’ll have to be ‘quick on the draw’ stirring, after adding the oil.
    Other than that they are perfect. A perfect ‘breakfast in bed’ for my happy wife!
    Thanks.4 stars

      That can definitely happen! BUT.. a few little chunks of coconut oil definitely won’t hurt the waffles during cooking and might even make them a bit yummier! But you’re right.. you have to be a little “quick on the draw” 🙂 Thanks so much for trying these and commenting, Johnny!

    Hey there pumpkin waffles. Imma eat all of you and not share with ANYONE. 😀
    Hahaha! Seriously though, these waffles are so flippin’ gorgeous! I love the fact that they’re vegan which pretty much seals the deal that I can eat all of them in one sitting. 😉 Pinned.
    Totally gorgeous photos too, Cheryl! I love love the soft lighting and vibrant colors!

    Ohhhh, these look so good! I just got myself a new waffle iron and these look totally perfect. I love pumpkin spice anything at this time of year too. I like to make big batches of waffles and freeze the leftovers to pop in the toaster on busy days. Looking forward to stocking my freezer with pumpkin waffles now!

      These would be so delicious from frozen I bet! We don’t have a toaster so I never get around to freezing, but the thought of having a batch waiting for me at all times.. think I might just go to Target this morning and grab one! 🙂 If only we didn’t have like forty-five appliances already. I think we have an addiction, ha! Thanks Katie!

      Thanks! I totally agree with you. I waited until it was at least um… the middle of August..ish.. but that was the longest I could keep myself from buying pumpkin in bulk!

    These pumpkin waffles really do look amazing! I’ve been saying that I need to get a waffle maker forever! Pancakes are good and all, but there is something so elegant able waffles! I could totally go for about ten of these for breakfast tomorrow morning 🙂

      Yes!! I love pancakes, really do, but waffles always seem like a special treat for some reason. You really do need a waffle maker!

      It’s time then, this weekend! 🙂 They’re basically the epitome of fall, no? And while it’s still humid and about 85º here (bleh!), I can pretend.. thanks Ashley!
