Pumpkin Spice Waffles
Pumpkin spice has been delivered in a new way with these waffles. They are gluten free and delicious. These waffles are so soft due to the addition of oat flour. This can be bought in-store or made on your own. To make the oat flour, you simply blend quick cooking oats or old fashioned oats in a food processor until they are finely ground into a flour. For this recipe to be gluten free, you must use gluten free oats.
- In a large bowl, mix the oat flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and spices together.
- In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the liquid ingredients into the flour mixture and stir until combined. The mixture will be a tad lumpy. Let the batter sit for 10-15 minutes.
