How to Make Golden Pumpkin Waffles

  1. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly coat the grids with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour, ½ cup cornmeal (or brown rice flour), ½ cup granulated sugar (or sugar substitute), 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice. Mix until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup pumpkin puree and 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy).
  4. In a clean bowl of an electric mixer, beat 3 large egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gently fold the wet ingredients (pumpkin mixture) into the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the whipped egg whites until just incorporated.
  7. Pour 1 ¼ cups of batter onto the preheated waffle iron. Adjust amount based on your waffle iron's size.
  8. Cook for 6-8 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Cooking time may vary depending on your waffle iron.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy! Top with your favorite sugar-free syrup, whipped cream (optional), or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
