Pumpkin Waffles
Description
These waffles begin with dry ingredients including oat flour, pumpkin spice blend, baking powder, baking soda, and salt mixed together. Wet ingredients of eggs, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, almond milk, Greek yogurt and vanilla extract are whisked carefully to combine without overmixing.
The dry ingredients are folded into the wet to form a batter, which is cooked in a preheated waffle maker sprayed with cooking spray. Cooking time is about 4 minutes or as per the waffle maker instructions. After cooking, waffles are best kept crisp by placing on a cooling rack instead of stacking, which prevents sogginess.
The pumpkin and spice provide seasonal flavor, while the combination of leavening agents ensures lightness. Using oat flour adds tender texture and mild sweetness. These waffles can be reheated in an oven to restore crispness. Variations in flour and sweetener are possible according to preferences.
To maintain quality, waffles freeze well wrapped individually. Reheating directly on the oven rack at 350°F for a few minutes helps regain crispness. Adjust sweeteners or use oils instead of yogurt if desired for dietary needs.
