Pumpkin Waffle Recipe with Blueberries
- Yield: 6 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup gluten free oats
- 1/2 cup hemp seeds
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon unrefined sea salt
- 3/4 cup sorghum flour
- 1 1/2 cups cooked/ canned pumpkin puree (I like Farmer’s Market brand boxed BPA-free pumpkin)
- 1 cup water
- 6 organic (pastured eggs, separated)
- 1 tablespoon unrefined red palm oil (or organic extra virgin coconut oil)
- Optional: 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- Fresh organic blueberries (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat a waffle iron.
- In a food processor or high speed blender (such as a Vitamix), add the oats, hemp seeds, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice and salt; process into fine crumbs. Add the sorghum flour, pumpkin puree, water, egg yolks, oil and maple syrup (if using); process until ingredients are well blended.
- Add the egg whites in a separate large bowl. Use a handheld electric blender and whip until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the pumpkin batter.
- When the waffle iron is hot, gently wipe it with the same oil used in the batter. Make the waffles according to the waffle iron instructions. Serve with fresh blueberries.

Looks delish! What could I use in substitute of the hemp seeds? Would chia or flax work or would flax mess use consistency since they can be replacements for eggs….. Hemp bloats and kills my stomach- major food intolerance to it. 🙁

Thank you so much Christen! You know, I think soaked cashews could work best as a replacement for the hemp seeds in this particular recipe. Chia and flax are great nutrition boosters and good for using as egg substitutes, but they won’t give you the same “creamy” texture that you would get from the cashews.

Hi Kaneez, So sorry for the delay getting back to you. Unfortunately, you definitely have to watch out for the toxic coatings on most waffle makers =( I think going with just a good old fashioned cast iron one is really your best bet. They are not too pricey either. You can get the Rome Old Fashioned Waffle Maker on Amazon for about $25. Hope this helps?
