Vegan Banana Pumpkin Waffles

I can’t go through Pumpkin season without having made Banana Pumpkin Waffles at least 3 times through the month. LOL. I want to give a big shout out to my family as we have had these waffles a lot the last few weeks as I tried to perfect the recipe. 😋

I’m so happy to share my latest Fall inspired waffle because you might fall in love with it… Ok that’s not really a pun but I tried!

Quick Vegan Banana Pumpkin Waffles Disclaimer :

This recipe is indeed a gluten free and vegan waffle however I topped mine with Nutella. I didn’t go crazy with it but oh man, how I totally suggest you do the same! Because the waffle spices are subtle, Nutella really brings it to level 10!

I will take some Nutella, please.

Let’s talk about texture :

The number one thing that makes waffles great is the texture. Like pancakes, you’re alright.. LOL but waffles – you are 9 out of 10 times what I order when I’m out for breakfast. When making them at home, here are some important tips to remember:

  • As you make them, have a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. As they finish cooking, set them on the sheet pan and do not stack them. The waffles need to cool down and if you stack them, the moisture gets caught up in there and it will turn soggy.
  • These waffles can come out a little delicate if they are not cooked all the way through. My waffle maker is large and the waffles can take a little longer to cook through. Be sure to check your waffles settings as this will vary.

Freezing waffles:

Another reason to love waffles is because they freeze well. There is nothing like having them ready to go when you are in a hurry or your kids are screaming for breakfast! Let’s face it , waffles take time to make especially if you have a large family or group you are cooking for.

To freeze waffles, you will want to follow the cool down method noted above and then you will want to have a freezer safe container for them. Freezer safe ziplocks bags are great. Wrap the waffles in the parchment and then store in the freezer bags. Or my favorite option is using a freezer safe glass container like snap ware. The 4 cup size glass container hold waffles nicely and 2 waffles should fit. You will want to use parchment in that as well and also make sure the parchment is between the stack.

To reheat, place in the microwave for about 40-60 seconds.

Notes

Please Note: Cooking times with vary depending on what kind of waffle iron you have. I use a Belgium waffle iron which is larger so it takes about 6 minutes per waffle. 
The serving size is based off of a Belgium waffle iron. If you are using a smaller unit, you may have more than 4 waffles.
I omitted salt from the recipe but if you would like salt in yours, you can add a 1/2 teaspoon.
