Flaxseed meal is a vegan alternative that binds well.

Add 2 cups of pumpkin puree to a mixing bowl.

Add 2 cups of all-purpose flour to the bowl.

Add 1 cup of brown sugar to the mixture.

Add 1 tablespoon of nutmeg and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon to the bowl.

Add 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the mixture.

Combine all ingredients until a nice batter forms.

Add water gradually until the batter is playable, but not runny.

Add 2 tablespoons of baking powder as the last ingredient and mix well.

Set the batter aside for about 2 minutes.

Heat oil in a deep pot or saucepan until hot for frying.

Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil for deep frying.

Fry the fritters until they are golden brown and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove the fritters from the oil and let them drain on paper towels.

Serve warm and enjoy.
