Pumpkin waffles


Preparation time: 30-60 minutes recipes

 – Makes about 4-6 waffles – 

I like to add veggies wherever possible. Waffles are a great way to sneak in the goodness. My kids don’t even notice they are having pumpkin for breakfast. I use oatmeal as a flour substitute in this recipe. The spices add a delicious festive flavour.

Waffles are ideal for batch cooking as they freeze well or keep in the fridge for a few days. They are delicious when toasted straight out of the fridge or freezer and topped with a little butter and maple syrup.

Goes well with: breakfast, maple syrup, butter

200 g pumpkin (cooked and drained)
100 g oatmeal
100 ml almond milk
