Pumpkin Oat Waffles (Gluten Free) – These Pumpkin Oat Waffles are a nutritious and tasty twist on traditional waffles. Flourless and gluten free, these waffles provide a nice punch of protein and can be made ahead and frozen for a quick breakfast that the whole family will love!
Although I’m sad to see summer go, I love all the warm, homey flavors of fall…soups and chili, apples and cinnamon, and of course pumpkin! This recipe definitely captures the essence of fall flavors. Pumpkin, oats, and homemade pumpkin pie spice make an awesome flavor combo for these hearty waffles. They are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and perfect for dipping in maple syrup.
How to Make Pumpkin Oat Waffles
Begin by making your Oat Flour. It’s super easy and more economical than buying it from the store. Simply place raw oats into a high speed blender and blend until a flour-like consistency.
Next combine the oat flour with the other dry ingredients. Combine the wet ingredients in a separate bowl.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Let the batter sit for a few minutes.
Heat your waffle iron and spray with non-stick coconut oil or other cooking spray. I have a large round waffle iron and use about 1/2 cup of batter per waffle. Adjust depending on the size of your waffle iron.
If freezing, let waffles cool, wrap individually, and place in a freezer safe bag. Remove individual waffle when ready and reheat in the toaster.
To serve, top with pure maple syrup or nut butter.
This recipe is wonderfully simple and best of all, nutritious and yummy. I recommend making a batch and freezing the individual portions for a fast and healthy breakfast your kids can pop in the toaster on school mornings. Happy Fall!!

6 Comments on “Pumpkin Oat Waffles”
Oooo these look fantastic! I love that they are gluten-free and a good source of protein. Great fall-time recipe! 🙂
Thanks, Alia! Hope you get to try them soon 🙂
How would the calories per waffle change if I used sweet potato puree instead of pumpkin?
Hey Jaleesa – calorie count would go up because sweet potato is much higher in carbs and calories. But it’s still a great swap and sweet potatoes have tons of other health benefits!
Can vegetable oil be substituted for coconut oil and can egg whites be used instead of eggs?
Hi Marie – yes to both! Feel free to substitute vegetable or avocado oil. Egg whites should be fine too – the waffles will likely have a lighter, less rich texture. Let me know how it goes!
