Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain low fat yogurt
  • ¾ cup pure pumpkin
  • ½ cup low fat milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil (melted)
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 ¼ cups whole wheat pastry flour
  • ½ cup ground flax seed
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • chopped walnuts and additional maple syrup – optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat waffle maker while you begin making the batter.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together all liquid ingredients: pumpkin through vanilla.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients: whole wheat pastry flour through salt.
  4. Slowly add the liquid ingredients to the flour mixture and stir until incorporated, careful not to over-mix.
  5. Spray waffle maker with cooking spray and pour batter in, about 1/2 cup at a time. Cook until lightly golden brown or according to manufacturer’s instructions.
  6. Serve with chopped walnuts and more maple syrup if you wish although my kids ate them without any toppings!

Notes

  • If batter starts to thicken once it sits, simply add more milk and whisk to combine.
