Pumpkin Chipotle Waffles Recipes

EASY PUMPKIN WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat the waffle iron to the high heat setting.
• In a medium bowl, mix the all purpose flour, baking powder, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and kosher salt until thoroughly combined.
• In another bowl, whisk the eggs, pumpkin puree, milk, and neutral oil. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk vigorously until the batter is mostly smooth.
• Lightly brush oil onto the waffle maker. Immediately, add the batter (1 1/4 cups for a Belgian waffle maker and a little over 1/2 cup for a standard waffle maker) into the center of the waffle iron, then cook according to the waffle iron's instructions. Remove the cooked waffles and place them on a baking sheet without stacking. Make the waffles to order, or place cooked waffles in a 250°F oven to keep warm.
• Cooked waffles can be frozen; place them in a plastic bag and remove the remaining air with a straw before sealing. To reheat, remove from the freezer and lightly toast in a toaster.

PALEO PUMPKIN WAFFLES

Steps:

• Put half of the raspberries in a small saucepan with a pinch of salt and 2 tablespoons water. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and the mixture comes to a boil and thickens to a jamlike consistency, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the remaining raspberries off heat. Let stand until ready to serve.
• Whisk the pumpkin, coconut oil, vanilla and eggs in a medium bowl until completely combined. Vigorously whisk in the coconut flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and 1/4 teaspoon salt until no lumps of dry flour remain.
• Prepare a waffle iron for medium-high heat and brush both sides with coconut oil. Fill each section of the iron about three-quarters of the way full (there should still be some waffle iron showing). Cook until the waffles are golden brown and slightly crisp, 6 to 10 minutes. Keep the waffles warm in a 200-degree F oven or covered with foil on a plate; repeat with the remaining batter. Serve with the raspberry compote.

PUMPKIN WAFFLES WITH TRAIL-MIX TOPPING

Steps:

• Prep the pumpkin: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the stem and cut the pumpkin into quarters with a serrated knife. Scrape the seeds and pulp into a strainer; set aside.
• Roast the pumpkin: Put the wedges on a baking sheet and cover tightly with foil; bake until the flesh is tender, about 1 hour, 30 minutes. Remove the foil and let cool.
• Puree and strain: Scoop the pumpkin flesh into a food processor and puree until smooth. Transfer to a sieve set over a bowl to drain the excess liquid, about 1 hour.
• Toast the seeds: Meanwhile, reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F. Rinse the seeds under cold water and discard the stringy pulp; blot dry. Spread the seeds in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and bake about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally (this helps dry them out).
• Make the topping: Transfer 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds to a bowl and add the almonds, sunflower seeds and syrup. Spread on 2 baking sheets lined with silicone mats or parchment paper and season with salt; bake until just golden, stirring several times, about 20 minutes. Cool completely on the pan, then toss with the dried cherries.
• Make the batter: Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and pumpkin-pie spice in a bowl. Whisk the sugar and egg yolks in a separate bowl, then whisk in 1 1/2 cups strained pumpkin puree, the yogurt and milk. Whisk in the melted butter. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the flour mixture and stir with a rubber spatula until just combined (it will be lumpy). Beat the egg whites with a mixer until stiff, then gently fold into the batter.
• Cook the waffles: Preheat a waffle iron and grease it if it's not nonstick. Spoon in the batter and cook until golden brown. Keep warm in a 250 degree F oven (directly on the rack) until serving. Serve with whipped cream, if desired, and sprinkle with the topping.

PUMPKIN PROTEIN WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle iron.
• Process the oats in the blender until the texture of flour. Add the cottage cheese, pumpkin puree, milk, protein powder, chia seeds, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, salt and egg and blend until smooth.
• Scoop between 1/4 and 1/3 cup of the batter into each quarter of the waffle iron, depending on the size of your waffle iron. Close and cook until golden brown, 5 to 8 minutes (or cook to waffle iron manufacturer's instructions). Repeat with remaining batter.
• Serve hot with maple syrup or your favorite nut butter, if desired. The waffles can be frozen and reheated in the toaster.

PUMPKIN SPICE WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F and a waffle iron to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the top and bottom of the waffle iron or coat with nonstick spray. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice and salt. In a large glass measuring cup or another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, pumpkin puree, eggs and butter. Pour mixture over dry ingredients and stir using a rubber spatula just until moist but slightly lumpy. Pour a scant 1/2 cup of the pumpkin mixture into the waffle iron, close gently and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 4-5 minutes; keep warm in oven. Serve immediately.

PUMPKIN SPICE WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle maker.
• Whisk together the milk, pumpkin puree, oil, maple syrup and egg yolks. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda and salt.
• Slowly mix the flour mixture into the pumpkin mixture and stir until smooth, taking care not to overmix.
• In a separate large bowl, add the egg whites and beat with an electric mixer (or whisk vigorously by hand) until stiff peaks form, 3 to 4 minutes. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter until just combined.
• Lightly spray your waffle iron with cooking spray or oil, then ladle the waffle mixture in. Cook per the manufacturer's instructions and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve with maple syrup and chopped pecans.
