Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 2/3 cup blanched almond flour (150 grams)
- 1/2 cup arrowroot powder or tapioca starch (60 grams)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (120 grams)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or your favorite milk)
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 eggs
- 3 Tablespoons avocado oil or melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prep & Preheat. Preheat your waffle iron and grease it with nonstick spray or brush with a very thin layer of oil to prevent sticking. Avoid using cooking spray that can gum up the waffle iron over time.
- Whisk The Dry Ingredients. In a large bowl, combine almond flour, arrowroot powder, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is well combined.
- Add The Wet Ingredients. Add pumpkin puree, almond milk, maple syrup, eggs, avocado oil or melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Whisk everything together until you have a smooth batter.
- Cook The Waffles. Pour or scoop batter into the preheated waffle iron according to your waffle maker's instructions (typically 1/3 to 1/2 cup per waffle). Avoid overfilling. Close the lid and cook until waffles are golden and cooked through.
- Repeat Cooking. Continue cooking waffles with remaining batter until all waffles are done. Serve warm.
- Store Leftovers. Keep leftover waffles in an airtight container or bag stored in the refrigerator or freezer. Reheat according to your preference.
Notes
- Use arrowroot powder or tapioca starch as a gluten-free binder to help the waffles hold together.
- For a paleo version, substitute baking powder with a paleo-friendly leavening agent.
- Brush your waffle iron lightly with oil instead of nonstick spray to maintain waffle iron performance.
- These waffles freeze well; reheat in a toaster or oven for best texture.
- You can substitute almond milk with any milk alternative you prefer.
