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. Avoid cooking sprays that can gum up your waffle iron over time.
- Whisk The Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, arrowroot powder, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
- Add The Wet Ingredients: Add the pumpkin puree, unsweetened almond milk, pure 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 your preheated waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Use about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of batter per waffle and try not to overfill. Cook until waffles are golden and cooked through.
- Repeat: Continue cooking the remaining batter in batches until all waffles are cooked.
- Store Leftovers: Place leftover waffles in an airtight container or bag and store in the fridge or freezer. Reheat before serving.
Notes
- Use blanched almond flour for the best texture and color in your waffles.
- If you prefer a paleo version, consider using a paleo-compatible baking powder or omit it and add whipped egg whites for lift.
- Do not overfill the waffle iron to prevent batter overflow.
- Leftover waffles reheat well in a toaster or oven for a crispy finish.
- Customize spices to taste by adjusting cinnamon and nutmeg amounts.
