These are simple to make and turn out perfectly crisp on the outside and soft in the center with irresistible pumpkin flavor. A great addition to your fall breakfast menu!
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cup almond flour
- 3 servings (~3/4 cup) protein powder (I recommend Equip, Whey or Collagen)
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin spice
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- In a blender, add the eggs, pumpkin purée, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, almond flour, protein powder, pumpkin spice, baking powder, apple cider vinegar, and salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron, following the manufacturer’s instructions for the amount of batter. Cook the waffles until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes per batch.
- Remove the waffles and serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, maple syrup, chopped pecans, coconut cream, yogurt, or fresh fruit. Enjoy!
Notes
- Storing leftovers: Cool waffles completely, then place them in an airtight container or bag and keep them in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- To reheat: I find the best way to reheat homemade waffles (especially after freezing them) is to put them in the toaster! This allows them to keep their crispy edges and fluffy insides instead of getting mushy from the microwave. You can also put them in a 200 degree F oven and toast for 5-10 minutes.
