Ingredients
- ½ cup of fine almond flour for a nutty base.
- ½ cup of coconut flour, adding a slight sweetness and fiber.
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda to help the waffles rise.
- 1½ teaspoons of ground cinnamon for a warm spice.
- ¾ teaspoon of ground ginger for a hint of zest.
- ½ teaspoon each of ground cloves and nutmeg, adding depth to the flavors.
- A pinch of salt to balance the sweetness.
- 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil for moisture.
- 5 large, organic eggs to bind the ingredients.
- ¾ cup of unsweetened almond milk for a light consistency.
- ½ cup of pumpkin puree for the signature pumpkin taste.
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed, to naturally sweeten the waffles.
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Mix these dry ingredients until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil and eggs until the mixture is smooth. Add the almond milk and homemade pumpkin puree to this mixture, blending well.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Continue mixing until you have a smooth, consistent batter.
- Fold in the mashed bananas into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed. The bananas not only add sweetness but also contribute to the waffles’ moist texture.
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Once hot, lightly grease it with a bit of olive oil or cooking spray.
- Pour the appropriate amount of batter onto the center of the waffle iron (the amount will depend on your waffle iron size). Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp. This should take about 4-5 minutes, but check the manufacturer’s guide for precise timing.
- Carefully remove the cooked waffle and repeat with the remaining batter.
