Helpful Tips & Substitutions
You can substitute coconut oil with melted vegan butter if you prefer. I like Earth's Balance Buttery Spread.
Try adding a tablespoon of ground flaxseed for an extra dose of protein.
For sweeter waffles, add a tablespoon of organic brown sugar or coconut sugar to the batter.
To keep the cooked waffles warm while you cook the rest of the batter, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in an oven set to low heat (around 200 degrees).
If you have any leftover pumpkin puree after making this recipe, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use it to make pancakes or muffins.
Topping Ideas
Get creative with a variety of sweet and savory waffle toppings. Here are some fun ideas:
- Fresh fruit, such as berries or apple slices.

- Maple Syrup

Recipe Variations
