How To Make Keto Pumpkin Waffles
In a medium mixing bowl, mix the wet ingredients together. Then, add in the coconut flour, baking powder, and spices. Next, mix the waffle batter until the dry ingredients are incorporated and the batter is smooth. Alternatively, you can pour all the ingredients into a food processor and mix until the batter is smooth.
Heat the waffle iron and when it’s fully heated, pour 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup of batter onto the iron and cook the waffle. Continue to cook the waffles until the batter is gone. These keto pumpkin waffles should be golden brown and slightly crispy. To make extra crispy waffles, place the waffles in the toaster oven on air fryer setting for 3-5 minutes to crisp up. Top with sugar free maple syrup and coconut whipped cream.
Recipe Tips:
- Sift your coconut flour: Coconut flour baked goods can be dense and gritty. Sifting the coconut flour before measuring and adding it to the batter will help these keto pumpkin waffles better texture.
- Egg temperature: Cold eggs will solidify the coconut oil in the batter, making lumps. Use eggs that have come to room temperature for a smooth batter. Alternatively, you can put the eggs in warm water to bring them to room temperature quickly.
- Check your baking powder: Baking powder contains corn derived ingredients. If corn isn’t an issue for you, then use what you have. You can make baking powder without corn starch by mixing baking soda, arrowroot powder or tapioca starch, and cream of tater together. Check out my homemade baking powder recipe here.
About The Ingredients:
- Eggs – Use whole eggs, not egg whites. I didn’t test this recipe with flax eggs, but in my experience flax eggs don’t work well with coconut flour.
- Coconut Oil – Other oils like avocado oil or olive oil can be substituted if needed.
- Pumpkin Pur̩e РUse pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling for these recipe.
- Vanilla Extract – Vanilla gives these waffles a sweet flavor and pairs well with the pumpkin pie spice.
- Maple Flavored Syrup – You can find this syrup online and at many health food stores. If you’re not on keto, use pure maple syrup instead.
- Coconut Flour – This gluten free flour is made from defatted coconut meat and is great for grain free baking.
- Baking Powder – If you have a corn allergy or avoiding grains, use a paleo friendly baking powder like this one.
- Pumpkin Pie Spice – This spice blend adds a ton of flavor to this recipe. If you don’t have any on hand, you can make your own!
