Making these waffles is as simple as it gets. First, preheat that trusty waffle iron—don’t skip this step; a hot iron makes golden, crispy waffles. Whisk your dry ingredients in one bowl and wet ingredients in another. Throw them together, and voila! Once the batter is in the waffle iron, savor the heavenly aroma wafting through your kitchen.

These waffles keep well, so you can make a batch ahead of time!

Tips to Make Gluten Free Almond Flour Pumpkin Waffles

Swap the Sweetener: Prefer honey? Go ahead! Just note that it might alter the texture slightly.
Egg-free Option: Use flax eggs (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 3 tablespoons water for each egg) for a vegan version.
Texture Perfection: Be careful not to overmix the batter; it should be thick but pourable.
Cinnamon Overload: If you’re a cinnamon lover, feel free to add a pinch more.

Variation

Feeling adventurous? Try adding chocolate chips for a sweet treat or mix in toasted coconut for a tropical twist. You could also swap out pumpkin puree for mashed bananas for an entirely different flavor profile. The options are endless!
