Pumpkin Waffles Recipe
Pumpkin Waffles are easy gluten free waffles that are soft, fluffy and packed with pumpkin spice flavor! They’re made with the goodness of whole grain oat flour and are perfect for meal prep!
Whenever I ask my boys what they want for breakfast, it’s always waffles. Years ago I started making a double batch of Greek yogurt waffles to stash in the freezer for busy weekdays, and gingerbread waffles are a must during the holiday season!
Almost 2 years ago I started eating a lot less gluten, and began experimenting with oat flour. As it turns out, oat flour makes incredible gluten-free waffles, and these oat flour waffles and sweet potato waffles are in the regular rotation.
In the fall, it’s all about these Pumpkin Waffles, especially when chocolate chips are involved. 🙂
These pumpkin waffles are soft and fluffy, and packed with pumpkin and warm pumpkin spice flavor.
The oat flour adds heartiness, and provides added fiber and nutrition.
It truly doesn’t get much better for a healthy fall breakfast!
What is oat flour?
Oat flour is simply ground oatmeal. You can purchase oat flour, or make your own using a high powered blender or food processor.
Are oats gluten free?
Oats are gluten free as long as the oats aren’t made in a facility where they can be contaminated with gluten.
If gluten-intolerant, be sure oat flour and oats say gluten-free on the package.
