Pumpkin Spice Waffles (Grain-Free, Paleo)

Pumpkin Spice Waffles - We all enjoyed the rich, balanced flavors of spices and pumpkin with just a touch of sweetness.
My girls love going all-out for the different seasons and holidays. They eagerly anticipate the “landmark” days when we shift into a new part of the calendar. As soon as the first day of fall arrives, they venture into the attic to retrieve our fall decorations and begin making wreaths and garlands for the house. They collect pine cones around our neighborhood and put them in big baskets to display by the fireplace. During the Christmas season they wear bells and make homemade cards and gifts. They sing and dance to Christmas music. It’s really sweet to see how excited they get each new season.

With the business of life, I sometimes don’t jump in as heartily as the girls. I promised them I’d work to improve, though. Last month, on September 23rd, we went to the attic together, found the fall decor and adorned our home in warm, rich colors. We simmered apples, orange peels and cinnamon in water on the stove to get that “fall” smell in the house. Now they’re trying to convince me to dress as “Lady Grantham” for Halloween (we’ll see about that). I’m starting to tag catalogs and create lists for decor and homemade gifts for Christmas.

It’s been a bit warm here, so I haven’t made a pumpkin spice latte yet, but I did get in the kitchen with the kids and create a recipe for pumpkin spice waffles. We all enjoyed the rich, balanced flavors of spices and pumpkin with just a touch of sweetness. Why not embrace the change of season and enjoy our blessings?

Pumpkin Spice Waffles (Grain-Free, Paleo)

Makes about 12 large waffles

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. To mix either the regular or dairy-free version: Whisk wet ingredients in a large mixing bowl until incorporated. Whisk dry ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Let batter sit for 5 minutes.
  2. Cook waffles on a waffle iron* according to manufacturer's instructions. Serve with maple syrup and butter (if using).
  3. *Here's the waffle iron I currently use. It's the only non-stick tool/appliance I have in my kitchen, but I haven't had much luck with the cast iron waffle pans that I've tried. I contacted Mighty Next to see if they've found one, and they said they are actively searching. I'll make sure and let you all know when I've found a good cast iron waffle iron. And, if you know of a good cast iron waffle pan, please let me know!

    Hi!I made the paleo version tonight and they were yummy!! My kids LOVED them!! One question...did yours turn out more like bread than a waffle? Mine were soft, like a quick bread and didn't crisp like a normal waffle. It wasn't an issue at all, just wondering if this was normal as I'm new to working with Coconut flour. Thanks!!!

But these guys are a great company for home-steady type stuff.

    Oster now makes a ceramic coated waffle iron. I bought the cheap $18 one just to try it out and it works great! I might go back and buy the more heavy duty one next as the cheap one is a little flimsy. I think they even have one that makes two waffles at a time. I agree, the cast iron is tricky to make right. I've toyed with it so many times, but it takes a lot of patience!

      I haven't made tortillas in a few years (I've been on a grain-free diet), but when I did make them, I used a corn tortilla press (cost about $20) and a very hot enameled cast iron pan with some lard or ghee. Le Creuset makes some great enameled cast iron (I usually get them on ebay...I love the vintage ones!): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B4UOTBQ?ie=UTF8&creativeASIN=B00B4UOTBQ&tag=deliciorgan03-20

    I purchased a refurbished waffle iron from the 1940's…the website is: www.toastercentral.com I love the waffle maker and he includes copies of the original instruction manual plus his own tip sheet. He sells many other vintage and totally refurbished products. The waffle maker is aluminum…but at least its not non-stick and it works so well! You can always call the owner and he will tell you what might be a good fit depending on what you are looking for. They can be pricey…but you can always hit those estate sales…so many times the waffle irons are still in the box! Hope this helps!

    I made these for breakfast this morning and was very pleasantly surprised at how good they were. Not because I don't like your recipes but because the last time I made waffles (from another website) using coconut flour, I did not like them at all. But these were very tasty without having to add a ton of maple syrup on top! This is a keeper! Thanks!

    These had great flavor however they stuck to our waffle maker and were very soft. Another commenter stated that they wished they could get theirs crispier and I agree with that opinion. We made the dairy version with whole milk and yogurt. After loosing three to the waffle maker, we used a large flat spatula to lift the waffle out. Fantastic flavor however prone to falling apart in the waffle maker and on the plate.

      I'm sorry to hear of your issues. Did you make any substitutions? If you have issues with waffle batter sticking to the waffle pan, then the waffle iron needs to be heated to a higher temperature.

    Thanks for the delicious recipe! I made these this morning, but as pancakes. It worked. The first flip was a little tricky for me, but I didn't lose any!I happened to come across your blog a couple weeks ago and it has been life changing. I feel like the fog has been lifted. My days are so much "clearer". I started not feeling well after I had my first child. After over a year of nursing him and I turned 35 my health just changed. I have been struggling to find what my body needs. Your blog spoke to me and I began with one meal and I haven't had grain in one meal since. I cannot believe I went trough Thanksgiving without grains. I just didn't want any. The feeling I knew I would have was just not worth it. Thank you! I am excited to add your cookbook to my kitchen!

    I eat dairy and was thinking of making these for breakfast but we don't buy yogurt (just not a regular staple). I have full fat sour cream and cream cheese on hand. Would either of those work? I could just make the paleo version since I have everything for that but just curious what your thoughts are.

    These are perfect! We've been looking for a waffle recipe that relied on coconut flour instead of almond flour, and wasn't too $$$ to make. (I have 5 kids!) These are perfect. I turned my waffle iron up a bit (just above medium) and left them in longer than normal. I got a great crisp outside and yummy soft inside. We also have to watch our carb intake because of a type 1 diabetic kiddo, so I subbed 3/4 cup of stevia in the raw for the maple syrup that's in the batter, and changed the diary milk to unsweetened almond milk. It worked perfectly. I got 8 waffles from the first batch (6 from my second.. not sure why) so they are about 5-6 carbs per waffle the way I made them. And most importantly, the kids loved them! Thanks so much for the recipe!

    Hi Carrie,I made these this morning and they were a huge hit. I was craving something pumpkin so this hit the spot and the kids loved them too! What's the best way to store the leftovers? Is it best to cook the waffle then freeze them? I have never done that but we did have a lot of batter left over. Thanks!
