Vegan Pumpkin Waffles

Oh, hello there, vegan pumpkin waffles.

Oh, 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?

Whenever 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.

Most 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).

These 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.
