Description

These gluten-free waffles are soft on the inside, crisp on the outside, and loaded with pumpkin pie flavour.

Ingredients

  • ½ cups Light Brown Sugar
  • 6 Tablespoons Cornstarch
  • 2-½ cups All Purpose Gluten-free Flour Blend (see Note)
  • ½ teaspoons Xanthan Gum
  • 3 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 3-½ teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
  • 4 teaspoons Ground Ginger
  • ½ teaspoons Ground Cloves
  • 1 teaspoon Freshly Ground Nutmeg (1/2 Tsp Packed Pre-ground)
  • 4 whole Eggs
  • 2 cups Pumpkin Puree
  • 2 cups Whole Milk
  • ½ cups Melted Unsalted Butter

Preparation

1. Lightly oil your waffle iron and set to desired temperature. Allow to preheat while you prepare the batter.
2. In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar and cornstarch. Whisk to combine. Add the remaining dry ingredients, and stir to combine.
3. Separate the eggs, whites into the bowl of a stand mixer (if using), and yolks into a medium size bowl.
4. Add the pumpkin and the milk to the egg yolks. Whisk to blend and set aside.
5. Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
6. While whisking, pour melted butter into egg yolk/pumpkin/milk mixture.
7. Add the pumpkin mixture to the dry ingredients, mix until just combined. If they are still slightly lumpy, that is OK. That will work out when the egg whites are added.
8. Place half the whipped egg whites into the pumpkin mixture, and fold in. Add the remaining egg whites, and fold in until no white remains.
9. Scoop batter onto hot waffle iron, and cook until done and nicely browned. I found these took a little longer than my normal waffles, and I think that is due to the moisture that the pumpkin adds to these.

NOTE: The all-purpose gluten free flour mix that I use is from Cybele Pascal, and is as follows: 4 cups superfine brown rice flour, 1 1/3 cups potato starch (not flour), 2/3 cup tapioca starch. Combine all ingredients in a large zipper-top bag. Shake until well blended.

My kids LOVED these waffles! We topped them with vanilla ice cream & maple flavoured syrup one time, and the next time with whipped cream. So good! Your flour mix should work no problem. :)

These sound really delicious! My boys love both waffles AND pumpkin so I need to give these a try. They look so crispy and light, too! Your flour blend is the same ratio as the one I make and use (originally from Annalise Roberts), so these should work well for me.

wonderful waffles! Tastes like pumpkin pie and I love how hearty the waffles are. Have a super picky boy and he asked for 3rds. Used soy milk and gluten and dairy free spread in place of the dairy and they worked wonderfully. Thanks
