How to Prepare Deliciously Decadent Vegan Pumpkin Waffles with a Hint of Autumn’s Flavors and Topped with Warm Apple Cider Maple Syrup
- In a small saucepan, cider is brought to a rolling boil over medium heat. Reduce the cider to approximately three tablespoons over a period of around 20 minutes by cooking it continuously. With the addition of rich maple syrup, the mixture stirs to perfection before being set aside for later use.
- Combining the oat flour, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and baking powder in a compact bowl. Whisk and set aside. In a distinct medium-sized bowl, harmoniously blend together the pumpkin puree, milk, aquafaba, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, warm spices, and pinch of salt. Whisk well to combine. The dry ingredients are incorporated into the mixture with a gentle stirring motion, ensuring they remain evenly distributed and minimally disturbed. Allow the waffle iron to preheat for approximately five minutes before proceeding with cooking.
- Preheat the waffle iron in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines. Pour in the suggested quantity of batter into the iron, then follow the instructions for cooking to achieve the desired outcome. Once the waffles are cooked through and lightly golden, remove them from the iron and place them on a wire rack set over a baking sheet or tray to cool. The waffle will crisp up in around 40 seconds.
- Savor the waffles alongside a pat of rich vegan butter and drizzle them generously with warm cider syrup.
