Health Benefits of the Ingredients
Almond flour is rich in healthy fats, vitamin E, and protein while being naturally gluten free. Pumpkin is loaded with fiber, vitamin A, and antioxidants. Protein powder gives these waffles staying power, helping you feel full longer and supporting muscle recovery. Using spices like cinnamon and nutmeg also adds natural flavor with anti-inflammatory benefits.
How To Make Them
- Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with cooking spray or oil.
- In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, protein powder, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients, stirring until just mixed. The batter will be slightly thick.
- Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron and cook until golden brown. Cooking time can depend on your waffle iron.
How To Store Them
Store your leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. Zap them in the microwave for about 30 seconds to reheat!
Tips and Variations
- Add chocolate chips or chopped pecans to the batter for extra flavor.
- Turn them into pumpkin protein pancakes by cooking on a skillet instead of a waffle iron.
- Double the recipe and freeze extras for quick grab-and-go breakfasts.
