Pumpkin Waffles are made with oat flour and no added sugar. Easy to make, freezer friendly and made with simple ingredients. A healthy pumpkin waffle recipe perfect for fall or anytime of year!
These pumpkin waffles are the best low calorie waffle recipe! Taste great with no added sugar, made from oat flour (or oats), have just the right amount of spice and simple to make! I like freezing a batch of pumpkin spice waffles when I'm baking in the fall when I want a healthier treat year round.
I make my healthy waffle recipe for weight loss, high protein waffles, and oatmeal blueberry waffles frequently along with this recipe for pumpkin waffles and freeze them for healthy eating later on. Batching cooking is the best!
Cook once and eat multiple times is something I teach my weight loss clients because life is busy and you won't always have time to make a healthy breakfast!
I also teach clients the importance of eating a balanced breakfast. For instance, pancakes do not have that much protein in them. Eating enough protein at breakfast prevents cravings and hunger later in the day. I generally see most clients not eating adequate protein in the morning and struggling with cravings and over snacking later in the day.
So if you eat a pumpkin waffle you will want to ensure you add a protein source to it like a yogurt, cottage cheese, turkey bacon, egg whites or enjoy my easy butternut squash hash with it!
To make this healthy pumpkin spice waffles recipe, you only need a few basic ingredients. Pumpkin, eggs, oat flour, vanilla extract, maple syrup, pumpkin puree, milk, baking powder and spices.
A few tips on making your healthy pumpkin waffles! Use a timer when cooking them. Set the timer to three minutes on one side and another three minutes on the other side and they will turn out perfect. My waffles turn out perfect every time when I do this.
This is the waffler maker I use, and it's important to note that all waffle makers work differently so if you have on different than mine, the time may be slightly different.
As if you don't like a strong flavor pumpkin spice flavor, I recommend you omit the allspice and just use cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg for a milder flavor. The healthy pumpkin waffles will be equally as delicious while still retaining the pumpkin flavor!

Healthy Pumpkin Waffles
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 2/3 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/2 cup coconut oil melted
- 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract

- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon allspice
Instructions
- Preheat a waffle iron and grease liberally with cooking spray or coconut oil.
- Place all the ingredients in a blender or food processor. Process on high until smooth. If the batter is runny, let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the oat flour to absorb the liquid.
- Pour the batter into the waffle iron (mine comes with a measuring cup that I use to measure mine). Cook 3 minutes then flip and cook another 3 minutes until golden brown.
- Pop the waffle out of the iron, grease and repeat until you have 4 large waffles. Divide the waffles into meal prep containers for breakfast.
Notes
- Makes 4 large waffles. 1 serving equals 1/2 of a waffle.
