Pumpkin Oat Flour Waffles (Gluten-Free)
Pumpkin Oat Flour Waffles are easy, healthy gluten free waffles made with oat flour, pumpkin and warm pumpkin spice!
Whenever I ask my boys what they want for breakfast, it’s always waffles. Chocolate chip waffles, to be exact.
Waffles are my favorite breakfast too, which I presume makes my boys a chip off the old block. 🙂
When I began a gluten-free diet almost 2 years ago, I wondered if I’d like gluten free waffles. I sincerely had my doubts.
As it turns out, oat flour makes incredible gluten-free waffles, and I prefer them to regular waffles.
Especially when there’s pumpkin and chocolate chips involved!

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.
