Gluten Free Pumpkin Waffles
Here we go! Gluten free Pumpkin Waffles are on the table. Delicious! Our healthy pumpkin waffles contain pumpkin pie spice and are packed full of nutrition: vitamin A, iron, fiber, protein and low sugar. We do not add gums, or anything artificial and ugly. The batter is a bit thicker, so be prepared for that difference when spooning onto the waffle iron. If you haven’t tried the original recipe yet, click here. Our waffle recipes are destined to become hand-me-down, go-to, feel good recipes.
Got spice?
Use this recipe as a guide – follow your own delightful taste buds and add more or less pumpkin pie spice. Or perhaps you prefer just cinnamon or cinnamon and ground ginger? It’s up to you. Create your own waffle recipe masterpiece.
Fresh vs. Canned
We use canned, organic pumpkin that contains nothing but goodness in our waffles. Canned pumpkin provides an easy, time-saving solution for us and we are happy with our brand choice. However, ’tis the season, and you may have pumpkin just waiting to be prepped and turned into puree. Truly, nothing beats fresh from the garden or farmer’s market produce. Check out this link to Inspired Taste for a tutorial on how to make your own pumpkin puree.

Notes
Make Ahead Time Saver: Weekday mornings are hectic at our house, so I always make extra waffles on the weekend and freeze the rest for a midweek treat. Gluten free waffles are easy to freeze and reheat, and they taste delicious. Place waffles in a freezer bag or container. They do not need to be separated with parchment. When ready to eat, warm them in a toaster or toaster oven set to low for several minutes. They store well in the freezer for up to a month.

I love your flour, and was so excited to make these pumpkin waffles. My family is dairy free, so we replaced the milk and butter with nut milk and coconut oil. They turned out delicious!
