Whole Grain Pumpkin Spice Waffles

Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Total Time25 minutes
Servings: 6 waffles

Ingredients

  • 1 and 1/4 cups non-dairy milk*
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 and 1/2 cups spelt flour or oat flour*
  • 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice**
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 pasture-raised eggs or 2 tablespoons flax + 4 tablespoons water
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 tablespoons dairy-free butter or coconut oil melted

Instructions

  • In a measuring cup, combine the non-dairy milk with 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar. If making them vegan, you can also combine the ground flax with water in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine the spelt four (or oat flour) with coconut sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together.
  • To the bowl, add the eggs (or flax egg) and pumpkin puree. Pour the milk in and stir a few times. Add the melted butter or coconut oil and continue to stir until evenly mixed. There shouldn't be any large lumps left but it's okay if it's somewhat lumpy.
  • Let the batter site while you preheat the waffle iron. Lightly grease if needed. Scoop out about 1/3 cup of batter at a time (this may vary depending on your waffle maker) and cook until ready or crisp on the edges. Set cooked waffles aside on a cooling rack as you cook the rest of the batter.
  • When ready to eat, I like to reheat the cooked waffles in the toaster for extra crispy edges. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Serve warm with pure maple syrup and enjoy!

Notes

*To make these gluten-free: replace the spelt flour with equal parts oat flour and reduce the milk to 1 cup instead of 1 and 1/4 cup.
**Pumpkin pie spice can be replaced with 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ¼ teaspoon cloves.
