1-2packets Stevia***or other preferred sweetener, as desired
1teaspoonbaking powder
1/2cupliquid egg whitesor egg whites from 4 eggs
1/4cuppumpkin puree
1/4cupunsweetened vanilla almond milkor other nondairy milk of choice
2-4tablespoonsmini chocolate chips****optional
Instructions
Heat waffle iron and spray it with a nonstick cooking spray.
Mix all of the ingredients (except chocolate chips) in a medium bowl. Combine until batter is smooth and there are no clumps. Stir in chocolate chips, if using.
Pour batter into heated waffle iron and cook for about 4 minutes on medium, depending on waffle iron instructions. Mine automatically sounds an alarm when waffle is cooked through.
Top with favorite toppings; such as maple syrup, almond butter and/or fresh fruit.
Notes
*I would not suggest substituting the coconut flour for any other flour, as it acts very different than other flours. **Use a vegan or gluten-free protein powder for nondairy and/or gluten-free waffles. I used Quest Protein Powder Multi-Purpose Mix. ***If adding mini chocolate chips, sweetener is not necessary- particularly if you'll be topping your waffle with maple syrup. ****Nutritional information does not calculate mini chocolate chips or toppings. Use Enjoy Life mini chocolate chips for a vegan allergy friendly choice. Cooking: I have a waffle maker that makes one large belgian waffle at a time. There was a bit too much batter for one large waffle. I would suggest making 2 smaller waffles, if your waffle iron situation is like mine. Freezing: These waffles freeze perfectly! Just store in freezer-safe plastic bags and pop individual waffles into the toaster or oven until warmed through.
