Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 15 oz. canned pumpkin 1x 15 oz. can. Not pumpkin pie filling!
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice or nutmeg, ginger, and cloves
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 4 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 eggs room temperature. For egg-free, use flax egg or applesauce.
- ½ cup sugar
- 1½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour I like Pillsbury gluten-free.Not all gluten-free flours are created equal. You may experience different baking results depending on the gluten-free flour blend you choose.
- ½ tsp xanthan gum leave out if your flour already has it
- ½ cup milk dairy-free use almond, cashew, or coconut milk
Instructions
- In a large bowl add the canned pumpkin, granulated sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, salt, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and pure vanilla extract and mix until fully combined.
- Add gluten-free flour, baking powder, and xanthan gum (leave out if your flour already has it). Mix until fully combined.
- Add the milk (or dairy-free milk) and mix until fully combined. The batter will be thick.
- Heat up the waffle iron. Once the waffle iron is heated up spray it with gluten-free cooking spray. You will need to re-spray the waffle iron with cooking spray for each waffle.
- Scoop the waffle batter onto the waffle iron and cook the waffles according to your waffle iron's instructions. I like to use an ice cream scoop.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Recommended flours: Pillsbury Gluten-Free, Cup4Cup, King Arthur Measure-for-Measure, or Bob’s Red Mill 1:1. Avoid single-ingredient flours.
- Always grease your waffle iron. You do not want your waffles to stick to the iron.
