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.

Oooooh! Hello Waffles! Hello Cheryl!! These are stunning and beautiful and I can’t wait to try this recipe! It came just in time! Fall has blow in to the PNW with a vengeance and I am now in the mood for pumpkin! I have been in need of a good vegan pumpkin waffle recipe and this one will be perfect, thank you very much! Nice pouring capture – makes me looong for some maple syrup with a little pat of butter on these mouthwatering waffles!
Thanks Traci!! Seems like fall has somehow disappeared over here, so I’ll just live vicariously through you! Pour shots are pretty much my favorite thing ever, but yours are always so much crisper and just generally um.. better! You’ll have to share your secrets 🙂
YUM!!! These look AMAZING!! i love love LOVE pumpkin this time of year! Pumpkin waffles?! So gooooood!! I’ve had pumpkin chocolate chip bread and pancakes… and I think waffles once! Sooooo good!
Thanks Cailee! Agreed, pumpkin this time of year is the *best*! And I think pumpkin chocolate chip pancakes need to happen here soon, thanks to those suggestions.. mmmm! 🙂
Hope you are bringing some of these to my house tomorrow morning. YUM!!! 🙂
We need to start a blogger commune where we can send one another’s recipes through dumbwaiters at all times. Am I right?! 🙂
With pumpkin season approaching, it is hard to pick a favorite recipe, but these look so crisp and tasty, I do think they should be made all year round! Pinning and will do them soon!
Agreed, pumpkin waffles every day! Thanks Mira 🙂
I would totally marry you if we weren’t both already hitched! Haha seriously.. these look wonderful!
Haha! Damn men! 😀
These look awesome Cheryl! I think you should definitely make them all year round though. I made some pumpkin cheesecake back in August and it was JUST as good and totally not weird at all 🙂
Thanks Melissa! And you’re totally right! I do love a little reminder of my favorite season, so I’m taking this as full permission to pumpkin out in June! 😀
Mmmmmm, waffles. Also love the wood board you shot on!
Thanks! It’s my go-to.. I really need to make another but I’m so lazy when I have pumpkin waffles to snack on 🙂
such a beautiful and festive fall version of waffles! love your pour shot too. 🙂 very nice!
Thanks Emily! Pour shots are the best, no? I always end up pouring syrup on my table, though.. ha!
These look absolutely divine! I will definitely be making these a time or two this fall.
Thanks! I hope you do, and let me know how you like!
I can’t tell you how badly I want these! We can’t get pumpkin here in Sicily, and I’m craving it so much!! Definitely saving this for the return home. Pumpkin in January can be a thing!!
Oh man, you’re right! When I lived in Paris we walked around and around and around trying to find a pumpkin to carve in October and ended up paying like 20€ for it. Pumpkin in January it is!!
