The blend of pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and pure maple syrup adds warm autumnal flavors without the need for flour, making them a nutritious and wholesome treat.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups quick oats (or rolled oats*)
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¾ tsp sea salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk of choice (or egg whites**)
  • 3 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 3 Tbsp pure maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Prepare the oat flour: Transfer the oats, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking powder, and sea salt to a high-speed blender. Blend on a low speed for 60 seconds or until the mixture forms a fine flour-like consistency.
  2. Make the batter: Add the pumpkin puree, eggs, milk (or egg whites), avocado oil, vanilla extract, and pure maple syrup to the blender. Blend until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  3. Cook the waffles: Preheat your waffle iron and spray the cooking surfaces with cooking spray. Pour approximately 1 scant cup of batter into the center of the hot waffle iron. Close the lid and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the waffle turns golden brown and is cooked through. For smaller waffle makers, use ½ cup batter per waffle. Repeat with remaining batter.
  4. Serve and enjoy: Remove waffles from the iron and serve warm. Top with your favorite toppings such as butter, chopped pecans, and honey for added flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute rolled oats for quick oats, but blend on higher speed or longer to achieve a finer flour.
  • Milk of choice can be dairy or any plant-based milk like almond or oat milk.
  • For a lower fat version, use egg whites instead of whole eggs.
  • These waffles freeze well; store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in a toaster or oven.
  • If you prefer crispier waffles, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes depending on your waffle iron.
