My kids have been begging me to use the waffle maker that’s been sitting in my cabinet for over a year, still in the box. I finally worked up the nerve to unpack it and get to work on making a delicious, airy, healthy, wheat-free waffle and guys- I believe I did. Check out our whole family recipe for pumpkin waffles!
Here’s what you need:
2 cups canned Pumpkin
1 1/4 cup Almond Flour
4 tbsp Butter or Coconut oil, melted
2 tbsp 100% Maple Syrup
1/2 cup Coconut Milk
3 tsp Baking Powder
2 tsp Vanilla
1 tsp Nutmeg
2 tsp Cinnamon
8 eggs
8 egg whites (You can use real eggs or from a carton of 100% egg whites)
*Oil or butter to coat waffle maker with.
Here’s what you do:
1. Combine all ingredients, excluding the egg whites.
2. Beat egg whites with a hand mixer for about 5 minutes, until very light and fluffily.
3. Gently fold egg whites into batter.
4. Preheat waffle maker to high heat. Spray or coat with oil. (The coating helps to make the waffle crispy.)
5. Add 1/2 a cup of batter to waffle maker and cook for 3/1 – 4 minutes.
Waffle is ready when it easily comes away from waffle maker. Makes about 12 large waffles.
Top with Kerrygold butter and 100% pure Maple Syrup.
Enjoy!

Ingredient clarification question: is that 8 whole eggs plus 8 egg whites? I made it with 8 yolks and the 8 whites put in later and the batter was a bit stiff but that could be my measuring differences with the flour, etc.
Yes, 8 eggs and then 8 egg whites. I use the carton of egg whites usually so as not to waste that many eggs. The batter should be a little thick.
Hi, this looks delicious and we want to try it, but I was wondering if you could tell me whether you used coconut from the can or carton? Thanks!!
Hi there! We use coconut milk from the can to stay away from the added ingredients in the carton milk. You want to find coconut milk with the only ingredients being coconut and water. Enjoy!
OK, great, thank you! We’ll try this in the morning. LOVE your blog
Hi, I have a 7years old daughter with Type 1. I was wondering do you count the carb for your son? and if so what is it for the waffle? I just found you on my freind’s facebook and I am so excited to learn more about the Paleo. It is hard to give anything without counting the carb. Can you please let me know how it works? If you would like to e-mail me or whichever way.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Nada, yes we count carbs for everything. These waffles, which are huge at a 1/4 cup serving each, are 4 carbs each.
Wow only 4 carbohydrate. That is great. I will have to give it a try.
Thanks,
Nada
Do you think these would freeze ok? I like to make a big batch then my boys can pop in the toaster before school
They freeze great!

Absolutely!
I found this recipe under the whole 30….is it really for whole 30? I didn’t think maple syrup could be enjoyed on this plan?
