Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)

1 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)

2 large eggs

2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ginger

1/4 teaspoon salt

Optional toppings: walnuts, banana slices, Greek yogurt, or a drizzle of maple syrup

Instructions
 

Preheat the Waffle Maker: Heat your waffle maker as per the manufacturer’s instructions until ready.

    Blend Oats: In a blender, add the rolled oats and blend until they reach a fine flour consistency. This should take about 30 seconds to 1 minute.

      Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, almond milk, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.

          Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. Let the batter sit for about 5-10 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.

            Cook the Waffles: Lightly grease the waffle maker with cooking spray or a little oil. Pour the appropriate amount of batter (usually about 1/2 to 3/4 cup depending on your waffle maker) onto the waffle iron and close. Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes, or until your waffle maker indicates it's done.

              Serve: Carefully remove the waffles and serve warm, topped with your favorite toppings like walnuts, banana slices, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a drizzle of maple syrup. Enjoy your delicious and healthy waffles!
