It’s November 1st and I haven’t posted anything pumpkin this season?! What kind of crap food blog is this? We can’t have that, so I fixed it. I fixed it oh so good.
It’s Friday night which means it’s the weekend! Which means you should sleep-in, lounge in your PJs and make these waffles. I mean, do what you want. I’m not telling you what to do…except make these waffles.
You can thank someone on my hallway at work for these. I don’t know who it is, but someone makes the whole office smell like syrup every morning and my head does nothing but think about how much I need waffles. So today I dusted off our waffle maker (really, it’s probably been about 9 years since it was last used) and went to town. It took a few tries but I did it. Gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free pumpkin waffles. I left the sugar out too. You pour enough of that on top, no need to add more in the batter.
You’re looking at fall on a plate, stacked high with dimples. You’re looking at breakfast that goes perfect with a side of lazy. You’re looking at your weekend plans… but really, do what you want.
Pumpkin Waffles (makes 4- just go ahead and double it) adapted from PaleOMG
Ingredients:
1 cup almond meal
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1/4 cup coconut milk (I used canned, light)
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Pinch of nutmeg – really, just a small pinch
Maple syrup for topping
Directions:
- Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until batter is combined and smooth.
- Pour the batter into a greased and very hot waffle iron, close and let cook through. My iron beeps when it’s done with a cooking cycle. I actually cooked mine for two cycles which was probably close to 5 minutes to get them a little crispy on the outside.
- Remove, let cool just a little and top with desired toppings.
Notes:
- You could probably use any type of milk. I used light coconut milk because that’s what we had.
- Make sure your waffle iron is hot enough before adding the batter. If it’s not, it might stick. Water should sizzle off if you splash it.
- If you don’t have a waffle iron…you can’t make waffles. Maybe try pancakes? I didn’t try, but let me know if you do.
