Baked Vegan Pumpkin Fritters

There are many reasons to love fall, but personally, I think the best part of fall is all of the pumpkin packed foods! These soft and sweet baked vegan pumpkin fritters are a quick and easy fall dessert!

I’m kinda convinced that pumpkin would work in any kind of recipe. It’s great in savory recipes like soup and pasta as well as in sweet recipes like pie and fritters.

What are fritters?

My boyfriend and I got into a bit of an argument over what fritters are. Are they a savory appetizer or are they a sweet dessert? It turns out we’re both right, either of those things can be a fritter.

To classify a food just needs to be made with dough or batter and then deep-fried.

Since these pumpkin fritters are baked they aren’t technically fritters… but I won’t tell if you won’t.

How do you make baked fritters?

Baked fritters are really easy to make. Mix all of the dry ingredients together in a bowl. In a separate bowl mix together the wet ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry and then stir until they are well combined.

Since you aren’t using muffin wrappers make sure you liberally coat a mini muffin pan with baking spray before filling the wells with the dough.

Bake until a toothpick comes out clean.

Once your fritters have cooled you can top them with icing or a dusting of powdered sugar.
