Ingredients
Wet ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups plant milk
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree, canned
- 2 Tbsp. ground flaxseed
- 2 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
- 2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
Dry ingredients:
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour*
- 2/3 cup almond flour**
- 2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/4 tsp. salt
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all wet ingredients. Whisk and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine all dry ingredients. Stir.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, and whisk until combined. Then set aside and let the mixture rest for a few minutes.
- Meanwhile, turn on and preheat your waffle iron to desired setting. (I set mine to about medium or medium-high.)
- Using a 1/2-cup measuring cup, scoop out batter and place in the middle of waffle iron. (No need to overfill it - I find it cooks better when I don't push the batter all the way to the edge.)
- Close lid and let cook about 7-8 minutes or until steam has completely stopped. Be sure not to open during cooking!
- When fully cooked, carefully remove waffle and continue process with the remaining batter.

Notes
- *Flour: I use Bob's Red Mill gluten-free all-purpose flour.
- **Nut-free option: Omit the almond flour. Use a total of 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour (ensuring it's nut free).
- Waffle iron: My 7-inch round Belgian waffle iron is non-stick and doesn't require oil or spray. Be sure to lightly spray yours if your machine requires it.
- Yield: This recipe makes 3 cups batter. For me, this is 6 waffles using 1/2 cup batter per waffle. You may find it yields more or less depending on the size of your waffle maker.
