📖 Substitutions & Variations
- You can swap the chocolate chips for dark chocolate chunks if you want a richer flavor. We love the classic semi-sweet chips in this recipe.
- If you don’t have apple cider, you can use apple juice or even a bit of applesauce for that sweet apple touch.
- You can add a little extra cinnamon or nutmeg if you like your waffles extra spiced. We keep it balanced in this recipe.
🔪 How To Make This Recipe
- Step 1: In a medium-sized bowl, add the pumpkin puree, oat milk, coconut oil, and sugar. Whisk until well combined. Then add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon to the same bowl and whisk until well combined and smooth.
- Step 2: Heat your waffle iron to medium-high heat and spray with non-stick spray. Add about ⅓ cup batter to the iron. Let it cook for about 3-4 minutes. Repeat until batter is done. Serve with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
👩🍳 Expert Tips
While this vegan waffle recipe is super simple and straightforward, you might want to take note of these tips and tricks too.
- Remember to grease your waffle iron with some vegan butter or melted coconut oil to keep the waffle batter from sticking to the waffle maker.
- If you don't have melted vegan butter and don't wanted to use melted coconut oil, you can just spray some cooking spray on the waffle iron.
- Remember to follow the waffle iron instructions carefully and use a greased waffle maker to make sure the waffles come out perfect.
- You can also try making vegan Belgian waffles with the same mixture by using a Belgian waffle iron.
- Another great idea is to use a mini waffle maker to make these easy vegan waffles for kids.
- I used cane sugar to sweeten the waffle mixture, but you can also use some pure maple syrup or brown sugar instead.
- Chocolate chips can also be a great addition to the waffle batter.
- I also like to add a dash of vanilla extract to waffle batter to balance out all the flavors.
💭 FAQs
I used all purpose flour to make vegan waffles, but you can also use whole wheat flour instead if you want to make it healthier. To make gluten free waffles, you can use oat flour or spelt flour or even some coconut flour. Buckwheat flour is another great option if you're looking for a gluten free flour to use to make these light and fluffy waffles.
You can use almost any kind of non dairy milk of your choice. Coconut milk, almond milk, and soy milk are all great choices. Vegan buttermilk can be another great addition to the mixture.
🧂Serving Suggestions
These are my favorite options to serve with vegan waffles:
- These light and fluffy waffles taste prefect when topped with some fresh fruit and a drizzle of powdered sugar.
- You can stick to using fresh berries or any chopped up seasonal fruit you have at hand.
