Dry
- 1.5 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour I used Bob’s Red Mill

Flip the waffle maker and open it. If it needs a little be more time to cook, close and flip over, let cook for about 20-30 seconds longer.
- Use non-stick tongs to remove waffle from iron.
Have you tried these nut free? I’m looking for GF/nut free pumpkin waffle recipe to do with preschool kids. I’m topping with apple butter. I’m finding a lot of GF recipes use nut oil/milk/powder.
To make it nut free all you would have to do is switch out the milk for another liquid. You could totally use cow’s milk, soy, etc! I haven’t personally tried it with cow’s but I have no doubt it will work!
I just made these & they turned out FABULOUS!! I used Pamela’s Artisian GF Flour Blend for my flour. I also swapped out the almond milk for 1/4 C orange juice and 3/4 C unsweeted coconut milk. Almonds don’t like me 🙁 I also added 3/4 C Enjoy Life Mini Chocolate Chips, since my son will ONLY eat waffles with chocolate chips, lol! These are my new go-to Pumpkin Waffle Recipe, Thanks so much!
I’m glad you still had a successful recipe even with all the substations! I’ll be eating pumpkin year round thanks to these waffles 😀
#autocorrect… substitutions not substations 😀
You’re totally right about waffle making being an art! I’ve been fairly discouraged for the past, ohhhh, 4 years and haven’t made any since. Well, okay, there was that one time I tried… And they were so chewy and not crisp at all that I threw them out. And just ate the maple syrup. 😉 Love that these have pumpkin — I’m obsessed right now! Pinned!
LOLOLOL. So you pulled a Buddy the Elf and straight up drank maple syrup. I like you. I like you a lot.
Aww, I like you too! Better than pouring it over spaghetti. With candy on top. 😉
These pictures!!! New lens? Or just getting fricking amazing at food photog. These look soooo yummy!! I (well.. mom) have a waffle maker that I’ve used ONCE. They are just to finicky for me. But these… yum. Could you make them in pancake form?!?!
No new lens…but I did get a new photography board 😀 Love the white wash. You could totally make these in pancakes. At least I think so 😀
Totally making these for dinner tonight 🙂 What kind of waffle iron do you have?
So I didn’t get around to making these for dinner, but I just made them for breakfast. They were absolutely perfect! Bookmarking the recipe to use over and over again!!

Saw your comment on the pumpkin waffles about a year ago. Were they crunchy on the outside, I am looking for a recipe that achieves this goal.
Thanks
Hey Mary! These are not crunchy on the outside.
Lee – these look absolutely amazing. Reason enough to save up for a waffle maker! =)
🙂 Christmas list. Check.
Ugh I appreciate that you put almond butter on you waffles AND syrup. People ask me, “you put nut butter on your waffles/pancakes?”
“Don’t you?”
😉 I want my face in these waffles!
Uhhhh yes. I out but butter in everything. And it wouldn’t be a waffle without some maple syrup. The combo is freaking heavenly.
gahh these photos! SO gorgeous and the look so yummy!! I am also a fan of the sweet waffle variety but like to mix it up with a fried egg every now and then too! Pinning this for sure, such easy ingredients, love it!
Thanks for pinning love 🙂
I am always looking for new waffle recipes and this is definitely a must try!
I reckon there’s a fine line between solid waffle batter and the outcome. So. Many. Duds.
Sweet and savoury- first potatoes, now this combination…I think I kinda like you.
I like you more.
I don’t have a waffle maker, but am seriously considering adding one to our registry after seeing the deliciousness of these waffles. Yum. So perfect for a slow Saturday or Sunday morning.
If I did have a waffle maker, almond butter would be allll over the top of them.
I bet you could use this exact recipe for pancakes, too 🙂 but I definitely think you should add it to your registry!
These look AMAZING! There is a great chance that these may be my lunch today 😉
Breakfast for lunch… Tha best!
I need to get a waffle maker ASAP!
Stat!!!
So many waffle fails but I am getting better. Love the pumpkin flavor here! Yum!
Most of the time the waffle just looks like a fail but actually tastes like a waffle. I’d still eat it!
These. look. amazing.
I don’t own a waffle maker, but I can tell you that I’ve definitely had many pancake fails, Essentially, I need to get new pans–it just needs to be done. As for these…. they looked amazing on Insta and they’re looking even more amazing now. YUM.
Okay nonstick pans are God’s gift to earth. Get good pans nowwweww!
I’m not a waffle master (yet) but I attempt to become one soon 😀 I’m planning to make waffles more often this fall /winter (and next spring and summer lol). I think I’m going upstairs right now and throw the hokkaido squash into the oven to make pumpkin puree! And make these waffles tomorrow morning for my fam and me 🙂 I guess we’re hoping with maple topping! sounds even better than pumpkin soup which I had planned to make with it originally.
That hokka whata squasha!? I’ve never heard of that!!! Ooh pumpkin soup… I’ve never had that before!
Hi Lee! Have you tried to bake these yammies in a silicone mold? I have, but failed. Maybe I should somehow adjust your recipe?
I have not tried to bake these…they’re waffles! If anything, I’d make them as pancakes over baking them 🙂
I make lots of waffles… These waffles, sadly, ended up in the garbage. I don’t think all gluten free flours work the same way. I had a suspicion when my batter was very “gluey”. They just wouldn’t cook through in the waffle iron. Honestly, I think they would have made better muffins perhaps? I feel like they actually NEEDED to be baked.
