Hello lovelies, delicious waffles, who can say no to that? We definitely cannot and so today I share a delicious recipe for vegan pumpkin waffles with you. These waffles are crispy on the outside and fluffy and soft on the inside, just the way we like waffles. They are very popular with my kids and I‘m glad I can give them an extra portion of vegetables.
I make these pumpkin waffles with less sugar, because we usually eat them with maple syrup and that makes them sweet enough. You can easily make the pumpkin puree yourself. Simply cut a pumpkin (e.g. hokkaido) in half, remove the seeds and depending on the size place it in the oven for about 20-30 minutes, until it’s soft. Then mash it with a fork or quickly put it into a blender. You can keep the pumpkin puree in a sealed glass in the fridge for several days and you can also use it for other dishes, both sweet and savory.
I made the waffles with a mixture of buckwheat and spelt flour. But you can only use spelt flour if you like. We like the taste of buckwheat very much and in combination it isn‘t that strong. Buckwheat flour contains many nutrients, proteins and amino acids and is thus another healthy enrichment of the waffles.
By the way, the waffles only slightly taste like pumpkin, the delicious autumn spices dominate. I had baked them for my kids‘ playdate. My kids had their visitors guess what's inside these waffles and no one was right. But they all liked them very much. If you like spices like cinnamon, clove and nutmeg, then add more to the dough to make the waffles taste more intense.
Do you like waffles too? We all love them very much and I like to make them as a snack in the afternoon. Served with fresh fruits, they are a healthy snack for my children.
If you love these vegan pumpkin waffles, my waffle corner has more crispy ideas waiting for you: for something fruity and fresh I adore my crispy vegan apple chia waffles, for autumn-spiced mornings there are the crispy orange carrot waffles, and if you like it summery and sweet you have to try my waffles with strawberry mint sauce. I'd be so happy if you bake these pumpkin waffles, and I can't wait to hear how you like them.
