About This Recipe

Easy to make healthy waffles recipe made with pumpkin puree, wheat flour, pumpkin spice, and some other pantry staple ingredients. So fluffy and delicious.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups Whole wheat flour (or any flour of choice)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Pumpkin pie spice mix
  • 2 teaspoons Baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 3 Eggs, large
  • 2 tablespoons Coconut oil, melted
  • 1 cup Pure pumpkin puree
  • 2 cups Milk of choice
  • 2 tablespoons Pure maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the waffle iron.
  2. In a mixing bowl, mix together flour, pumpkin spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another large mixing bowl, whisk eggs until frothy. Add oil and pumpkin puree, and whisk again until the batter is thick and smooth.
  4. Stir in the milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Make a well in the dry ingredients, and pour in the wet mixture.
  5. Stir gently until just moistened and combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
  6. Pour the batter into the waffle iron and cook according to the waffle iron directions until nicely golden brown.
  7. Top with some toasted pecans, fresh figs, or any of your favorite fruits, and serve with a drizzle of maple syrup.

💡 Notes & Tips

  • Store the leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For freezing, stack up the waffles between 2 layers of waxed paper, place in an airtight container, and freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Before eating, defrost and reheat in the toaster.
  • Use gluten-free flour or oat flour in place of wheat flour.
  • I used Maple Syrup, but you may also use honey.
  • Coconut oil is preferred, but other neutral-tasting oils will work.
