Healthy, easy, and delicious pumpkin waffles are totally appropriate to make year-round… right?!

My favorite grain-free waffles!

These waffles always turn out so fluffy and delicious! Somehow pumpkin, coconut flour, honey, and a few other simple ingredients come together to make an irresistible breakfast. I promise you won’t even miss the flour and sugar!

Pleaseee tell me I’m not the only one who craves pumpkin outside of the fall season! Unsweetened canned pumpkin has honestly become one of my pantry staples for SCD-friendly/paleo baking recently. This veggie can serve as an amazing base for waffles, pancakes, brownies, cookies… you name it!

I use this same recipe for pancakes, too! I simply mix up the batter and pour the batter on to a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Since it’s a little bit thicker than most pancake batters are, I use a spoon to gently press the batter down into a flatter pancake. They’re usually a beautiful golden-brown after about 3-4 minutes of each side!

What you’ll need to make these waffles:

1 small bowl
A spoon
A mini waffle iron
The ingredients (duh)!

So so easy! This recipe will also work to make 1 large waffle in a Belgian-style waffle iron, but I love how fun the mini ones are. My mini waffle iron was BY FAR the best $10 I’ve ever spent!

How to make:

Step 1: Plug in the waffle iron to begin heating. In a small bowl, combine all of the ingredients and whisk until a cohesive batter forms! It should be slightly thicker than pancake batter.

Step 2: Using a spoon, transfer about 3tbsp. of the batter at a time into the mini waffle iron and cook until the light turns off (this takes about 5 minutes). Repeat until all of the batter is used. This recipe usually makes about 9 mini waffles, or 1 large Belgian waffle.

Step 3: Add toppings and serve warm. I like to use plain greek yogurt mixed with honey, melted peanut butter, and pepitas but the options are endless!
