Healthy Pumpkin Waffles
Whole Wheat Pumpkin Waffles are spiced with the perfect flavors of fall. They are fluffy on the inside and crunchy on the outside, like a waffle should be.
Servings: 8 servings (makes 4 waffles)
Calories: 298kcal
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups white whole wheat flour
- ½ cup cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
Instructions
- Whisk the flour, cornstarch, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and spices in a large bowl.
- Add the pumpkin puree, milk, eggs, oil, and vanilla. Stir just until there are no dry spots left. Rest for 15 minutes.
- Cook by pouring ½-1 cup of batter (depending on the size of your waffle iron) onto a ungreased waffle iron and cooking until brown and crisp.
Notes
- Lay finished waffles in a single layer on wire racks. This will let air circulate all around the waffles, keeping them crisp. If you stack them on a baking sheet or plate, they will steam each other and you'll end up with too-soft waffles.
- Make sure you let the batter rest for that 15 minutes to get the best, most tender, waffles.
- Spread cooled waffles in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze, then move to a labeled freezer bag. Toast on any busy morning when you want some waffles!
