Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin spice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients on a clean countertop. This will help streamline the cooking process.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1 tablespoon of pumpkin spice, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are evenly mixed.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the wet ingredients. Pour in 1 cup of almond milk, add 1/2 cup of pumpkin puree, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Use a whisk to blend these ingredients until smooth and well combined.
- Gradually pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. If your waffle maker requires oil, lightly grease it with a bit of coconut oil or cooking spray.
- Once the waffle maker is ready, pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the center of the waffle maker (usually about 1/2 cup, but this may vary depending on your machine). Close the lid and cook according to your waffle maker's instructions, typically for about 5-7 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
- Carefully remove the waffles from the waffle maker using a fork or tongs. Place them on a cooling rack or a plate to keep them warm while you cook the remaining batter.
- Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle maker as needed.
- Once all the waffles are cooked, serve them warm. You can top them with additional maple syrup, whipped coconut cream, or a sprinkle of pumpkin spice for extra flavor.
- Enjoy your delicious Vegan Pumpkin Spice Latte Waffles as a delightful breakfast or brunch treat!
Tips
- Always use fresh baking powder to ensure your waffles rise perfectly and maintain a light, fluffy texture.
- Don't overmix the batter - a few small lumps are actually desirable for tender waffles.
- If you want extra richness, substitute half the almond milk with coconut milk.
- Preheat your waffle maker completely before adding batter to achieve crispy edges.
- For a more intense pumpkin spice flavor, consider adding an extra 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice.
- Let waffles rest for 1-2 minutes after cooking to help them maintain their crispness.
- These waffles freeze beautifully - stack with parchment paper between layers for easy reheating.
