Molly Moore / 27 August 2025
There’s something about fall that just makes me crave warm, cozy breakfasts, and these vegan pumpkin waffles are my ultimate go-to. Packed with pumpkin flavor and just the right touch of spice, they’re perfect for crisp mornings when you want a little indulgence without the guilt. Whether you’re looking for easy fall recipes, a classic pumpkin breakfast, or a fun way to enjoy pumpkin recipes, these waffles check every box and they’re entirely plant-based.
I first made these waffles on a chilly Saturday morning when I was feeling tired and wanted a breakfast that would lift my energy while still feeling indulgent. I quickly fell in love with how fluffy, lightly spiced, and comforting they were. Now, they’re a staple in my fall mornings, and I like to make extra to freeze for quick weekday breakfasts.

Tips for Perfect Vegan Waffles
- Don’t overmix the batter, it keeps your waffles fluffy
- Let the batter sit for 5 minutes before cooking, it helps the texture
- Use a little cooking spray or oil for waffle makers that tend to stick
- Make-ahead trick, I often mix the batter the night before so I can plug in the waffle maker in the morning and have fresh waffles in minutes
How to Serve Vegan Pumpkin Waffles
- Classic, maple syrup and vegan butter
- Cozy fall twist, sautéed cinnamon apples or pumpkin butter
- Brunch-ready, coconut whipped cream and crushed pecans or granola
Storage and Freezing
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days
- Freeze in layers with parchment paper in between
- Reheat in the toaster for best texture
I love keeping a stash of these waffles in the freezer, it means I can enjoy a cozy pumpkin breakfast even on the busiest weekday mornings.
