Pumpkin Spice Waffles
Servings 5 Waffles
Ingredients
For the Waffles
- 1 1/2 cups pumpkin purée
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons ground flax seeds + 6 tablespoons water
- 2 cups spelt flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
To Serve
- Plain yogurt
- Maple syrup
- Fresh fruit of choice
Instructions
- In a small bowl whisk together the ground flax and water. Set aside to gel.
- Meanwhile, in a blender or food processor, combine pumpkin purée, almond milk, vanilla and maple syrup. Blend until completely smooth.
- Place all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir. Pour in the pumpkin mixture and the gelled flax and mix until a thick batter forms.
- Heat your waffle iron. Once it has come to temperature, add approximately 1/2 a cup of batter and smooth it out so that it's nice and even. Cook for about 4 minutes or until the waffles are golden and come away from the iron easily. Enjoy immediately or allow to cool and pop them in the freezer to enjoy at a later date.
Notes
* Notes: I have a non-stick waffle iron, so it does not require greasing. Most waffle irons do require a thin coat of oil or butter to prevent sticking
