Pumpkin Pie Waffles Recipe

Serves 4 

Ingredients:

  • 2 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup buttermilk
  • 3/4 cup pumpkin pure
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 1/4 cups oat flour
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp. salt

Directions:
Place all of the ingredients in a blender container and blend until smooth. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes, so the flour has time to soak up some of the moisture. Grease a waffle iron, place 1/3 cup batter for each waffle into the waffle iron and cook until golden and set, 3 to 5 minutes. Keep waffles warm in a 200-degree oven while you prepare remaining batter.
