Gluten-Free Pumpkin Waffles
These gluten-free pumpkin waffles are crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and bursting with pumpkin spice flavor. They’re naturally sweetened, Paleo, dairy-free, and perfect for cozy fall mornings (or any time you’re craving a little comfort food!).
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup tapioca starch
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 tsp pumpkin spice
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1 cup almond milk, unsweetened
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
- 1 egg at room temperature
- 1 tbsp coconut oil melted
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add the almond flour, tapioca starch, coconut flour, pumpkin spice, salt, and baking soda. Whisk to combine.
- Add the pumpkin, almond flour, vanilla, maple syrup, coconut oil, and egg to a medium bowl. Whisk until ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Slowly pour the wet pumpkin mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula until just combined. The batter will be fairly thick.
- Preheat your waffle iron. Once hot, spray the inside with cooking spray. Pour the waffle batter onto the heated waffle iron and cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions. Once the waffle is golden and crisp, remove it from the waffle iron. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve waffles immediately with desired toppings. Or keep warm in a wire rack-lined baking sheet in a warm oven until ready to serve.
Notes
-Always respray your waffle iron with cooking spray for each waffle to prevent sticking.
-Follow your waffle iron's instructions carefully. Each one has different cook times. I use a Belgian waffle maker and usually get 4 medium waffles or 2 extra-large waffles from this recipe.
-To keep your waffles crisp, I recommend keeping them in a warm oven until ready to serve. Preheat your oven to 200°F and line a baking sheet with a wire rack. After each waffle is cooked, place it on the rack in a single layer.
-Topping suggestions: maple syrup, almond butter, sliced bananas, chopped pecans, or coconut cream.
