These Pumpkin Spice Waffles are the perfect fall breakfast! The waffles are crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and are made with whole grain oat flour and plenty of pumpkin spice. They're dairy and gluten-free and great for meal prep!
Preheat the waffle iron to medium high. Whisk together the eggs, coconut oil, maple syrup, almond milk and pumpkin puree in a large bowl.
3 large eggs, 6 tablespoons coconut oil, 3 tablespoons maple syrup, 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
Add the oat flour to the bowl, and sprinkle the baking powder, pumpkin pie spice and salt over the oat flour. Whisk well to combine, then fold in the chocolate chips if using. Allow the batter to stand for 10 minutes in order for the oat flour to absorb the ingredients.
2 cups oat flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 cup mini dark chocolate chips
Grease the waffle iron with cooking spray and using an ice cream scoop, scoop waffle batter into the center of each cavity and spread the batter evenly.
Cook according to manufacturer's instructions, and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve immediately with optional toppings, or cool and freeze!
