Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling
- 2 large eggs, separated
- ½ cup light brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup Silk Unsweetened Cashewmilk or Silk Unsweetened Vanilla Almondmilk (or another milk substitute)
- ⅓ cup canola or vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar, optional
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add the pumpkin puree, egg yolks, brown sugar, milk, oil, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, and whisk to combine; set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, add the flour, baking powder, salt, and whisk to combine.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir gently to combine, don’t overmix; set aside.
- Preheat the waffle iron and spray with cooking spray.
- In a separate large bowl, add the egg whites, optional cream of tartar, and beat with an electric mixer on high power until stiff peaks form, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add the egg whites to the batter and fold gently to combine.
- Transfer a portion of the batter to the waffle iron in the necessary amount to fill it and cook until done, about 3 to 4 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter, remembering to re-spray the waffle iron with cooking spray before each batch.
- Serve immediately with butter, maple syrup, confectioners’ sugar, jam, etc.
Notes
- For a dairy-free option, use cashew or almond milk.
- Ensure the egg whites are beaten until stiff peaks for fluffier waffles.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less brown sugar to taste.
