These Paleo Pumpkin Almond Waffles are enriched with protein, omega-3 and baked into crisp breakfast for fall and winter.
Unlike every year this Halloween I thought of doing brunch recipe instead of a dessert recipe.
But this brunch recipe turned out to be a breakfast dessert recipe for this Halloween. Its fun to think about Halloween and decorating the house with fake ghosts, spiders, webs and even the food with all those scary decorations.
My little one doesn’t seem to like the scary decorations too much so we have pumpkins and some lights in our deck for decoration and my recipes are also according to Yashvi’s liking since she wants a simple Halloween this year.
She bought a pink Mimi Mouse Costume because pink is her favorite color and has a school potluck this week where she wants me to get this Paleo Pumpkin Almond Waffles.
I have been trying this recipe for a while and failed many times since this recipe is totally flourless and super healthy yet the batter is slightly sticky because of the inclusion of pumpkin puree mixed in with almond flour. Yet I wanted to work on these ingredients and get my recipe right.
I was insistent on these ingredients because when I whipped up the ingredients the first time, the batter tasted outstanding except the consistency needed a little work. at that time, I knew immediately that even though it’s just a waffle recipe I will have a hard time binding it. However, the taste of these Paleo Pumpkin Almond Waffles kept my spirits high enough to keep working on my recipe.
Ingredients you will need
almond flour
baking powder
salt
flax seeds
pumpkin pie sice
pumpkin puree
banana
vinegar
almond butter
vanilla extract
How to make Paleo Pumpkin Almond Waffles
Firstly, I combined all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
Secondly, I blended all the wet ingredients in a blender.
Next, I folded in wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
Thereafter, I spooned out about 2 tbsp. of the batter on the warm waffle maker and let it cook.
I repeated the baking process for the rest of the batter.
Lastly, I stacked them and garnished and served.
These were the healthiest and yet tastiest waffles I have had so far.
My family also enjoyed them over the weekend and we had a hearty and satisfying family brunch.
They taste best when served immediately.
Follow your manufacturers instructions for your waffle maker. Depending on the type the time take to bake these waffles may vary. o as soon as its golden brown and and drier from inside, its done.

good flavor, but horrible consistency. They all burnt and didn’t fully cook.

Hi Sadie, I am so sorry that it did not work for you. These waffles are little finicky and takes few attempts to come to the right consistency. If you plan to try again pour the batter on the warm nonstick waffle iron which is generously greased, cook these waffles at a very low temperature setting and then just before taking them out increase the setting to medium -high temperature for few minutes. Take them out gently and let it cool slightly. These waffles will be darker from the outside as you may have seen the images and its different from the regular waffles. Hope it works for you this time.
