Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup pure pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup milk or milk alternative
- 2 tablespoons canola oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups old fashioned oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat a waffle iron.
- Add all of the ingredients to a blender in the order listed. Blend together until smooth.
- Spray waffle iron with cooking spray. Pour the batter into the pre-heated waffle iron and cook according to your waffle maker instructions.
- Serve as is with desired toppings or slice into strips.
Notes
- Be sure to spray your waffle maker with cooking spray between each batch to prevent the waffles from sticking.
- For easier blending, add the liquid ingredients to the bottom of the blender and drying ingredients on top.
- The length of time you cook the waffles will depend on your waffle maker. I use the Cuisinart Belgian Waffle Maker and cooked mine for about 5-6 minutes on heat setting #2.
- If serving these pumpkin waffles to babies, skip the maple syrup to limit added sugar. You can replace it with unsweetened applesauce, mashed banana or even blend in a couple of softened dates for added sweetness.
