Go to pumpkin waffle recipe. And the freeze perfect for quick breakfast for kiddos!
I made these for my Birthday breakfast this morning. Supper yummy recipe. I did find that cooking a minute longer in my waffle iron was needed unlike my regular waffle batter. (I think the pumpkin adds more moisture and therfore needed a bit longer on the waffle iron.) Can’t wait to make these again!
I plan to make these this weekend, does your flour mix contain Xanthan gum or will the recipe work without it? Thanks!
Yes it does use xanthan gum. This is what we use: https://www.bobsredmill.com/gluten-free-1-to-1-baking-flour.html
We didn’t have eggs when I looked in the fridge so good thing I was recently a vegan so I used 1 tbsp and 1 teaspoon flaxseeds to make flaxseed eggs. I mixed it with 4 tbsps of water. Also couldn’t find our waffle maker so I cooked them as pancakes. Very thick so shapes were nowhere near pretty but oh so good! I’d say that the flaxseed egg worked! Thanks for the recipe!
Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us! Love that you just turned them into pancakes.
I am new to autoimmune and gluten free. These are amazing! I will keep this recipe.
