Healthy Pumpkin Waffles

• servings: 14 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups (235g) whole wheat flour

1/4 cup (25g) rolled oats

2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

1 teaspoon cinnamon

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 1/2 cups whole fat milk

3/4 cup (180g) pumpkin puree

2 eggs beaten, at room temperature

2 tablespoons butter, melted

1-2 tablespoons maple syrup (optional)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit if you want to keep waffles warm.

In a large bowl, mix all the dry ingredients until evenly distributed.

In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients.

Combine wet and dry ingredients together. Be careful not to over mix. Let the batter sit for 10 minutes or so.

Preheat waffle iron. Grease by brushing or spraying with oil. Pour in 1/4 cup batter (or more if using a regular sized waffle maker) and cook according to manufacturer's directions until golden brown. If using the one I recommend here, 2 minutes and 45 seconds was perfect!

If desired, place the waffles on a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while you finish cooking the rest of the batter.
