This pumpkin waffles recipe is made with oat flour, making these waffles naturally whole grain and gluten free! But their texture is so fabulous and their flavor so delicious, no one will EVER guess!
It’s like eating pumpkin pie for breakfast, only healthier! ;) These pumpkin waffles are made with whole grain oats which not only contribute a delicious flavor but also make these waffles naturally gluten free.
I hesitate to mention that these waffles are gluten free. Because in knowing they’re gluten free many non-GF people will avoid making them because they think they’ll taste…gluten free. But rest assured, these waffles will appeal to even the most avid gluten munchers out there! And the fact that they just happen to also be GF is just a bonus for anyone on a GF diet.
100% whole grain, these waffles are made with oat flour which we actually prefer over wheat. Not only is the flavor better but the oat flour gives them a lightly crispy exterior and soft interior, the same effect you get when you toast waffles. I think you’ll agree that these whole grain Pumpkin Spice Waffles ROCK!
Pumpkin Waffles Recipe
Let’s get started!
Combine all the wet ingredients in a large mixing bowl and whisk until thoroughly combined.
Combine all the dry ingredients in a separate bowl and stir until combined.
Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and stir just until combined. A few little lumps are okay – do not over-stir.
Let the batter rest for 10 minutes and then give it another gentle stir.
Preheat your waffle maker during the final minutes of the batter’s resting period.
Cook the waffles until golden and lightly crispy. Don’t stack the waffles or they will become soft. If you’re making more than four waffles, keep the waffles warm by placing them single-layer in the oven heated to 200 degrees F.
Serve the waffles immediately so they remain crispy.
Serve with some butter, maple syrup and a light sprinkling of cinnamon. If desired, sprinkle on some toasted chopped pecans.
Enjoy!

Mmm the flavours! I’d love these in the morning!
MMM. looks awesome
I have always loved waffles since childhood and always would buy from stores but, today after seeing your recipe I feel I can try this at home…
I know some kids that are going to go crazy over these!
That grain grinder is awesome!
I have so much canned pumpkin left too and I will definitely be making these waffles. I love that they are GF but don’t taste that way.
Grinding your own grains – that’s amazing! These look delicious!
