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
- 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. Avoid cooking spray as it can gum up your waffle iron over time.
- Whisk The Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, arrowroot powder, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until 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 the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Cook The Waffles: Scoop or pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron according to your waffle maker instructions. Use about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of batter per waffle and avoid overfilling the iron. Cook until waffles are golden and cooked through.
- Repeat: Continue cooking with the remaining batter until all waffles are made.
- Store Leftovers: Place leftover waffles in an airtight container or bag and refrigerate or freeze. Reheat as needed before serving.
Notes
- For paleo option, use a paleo-friendly baking powder alternative.
- Make sure not to overfill the waffle iron for best results.
- Use avocado oil or melted butter for moisture; ghee works well too.
- Leftover waffles can be frozen and reheated in a toaster or oven.
- Spices like cinnamon and nutmeg enhance the pumpkin flavor—don’t skip them.
