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 cooking spray that can gum up your waffle iron over time.
- Whisk The Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, thoroughly whisk together the almond flour, arrowroot powder, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
- Add The Wet Ingredients: Add the pumpkin puree, almond milk, maple syrup, eggs, oil or melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Whisk everything together until you get a smooth, consistent batter.
- Cook The Waffles: Pour or scoop the batter into your preheated waffle iron, using about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of batter per waffle, depending on your waffle iron’s size. Cook according to your waffle maker’s instructions until golden brown and crisp.
- Repeat & Store: Repeat with the remaining batter until all waffles are cooked. Store leftover waffles in an airtight container or bag in the refrigerator or freezer and reheat as needed for a quick breakfast.
Notes
- Use arrowroot powder or tapioca starch interchangeably depending on preference.
- For a paleo version, substitute baking powder with a paleo-approved leavening agent.
- Brush the waffle iron lightly with oil instead of using cooking sprays to avoid buildup.
- Make sure not to overfill the waffle iron to prevent batter overflow.
- Store cooked waffles in an airtight container to maintain freshness and reheat gently to restore crispness.
