It's Waffle Wednesday! In case you didn't already know, but waffle Wednesday is totally a thing. What makes these waffles is the fact that it's pumpkin everything....and I mean EVERYTHING!
Waffles are always great, but something about pumpkin waffles just makes me smile. Strange I know, but pumpkin makes everything better! Which is only fitting seeing as it is pumpkin season right now. Besides being loaded with all things pumpkin this waffle is packed with 18 grams of protein! If 18 grams of protein doesn't convince you to fire up your waffle iron then the fact that is it pumpkin should!
Protein Pumpkin Waffle
- 1 Tablespoon coconut flour
- *1/2 scoop protein powder (Quest, Vega, PEScience all work)
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 Tablespoons organic pumpkin- NOT pumpkin pie filling
- 3 Tablespoons egg whites
- 2 Tablespoon unsweetened vanilla almond milk
* You do not have to include protein powder
In a small mixing bowl combine all ingredients.
Heat up waffle iron to medium-high setting. Spray waffle iron with nonstick cook spray.
When warm pour batter into waffle iron. I have a jumbo waffle maker so I made one giant waffle, but for a regular size waffle iron you can get two waffles.
Check after 4-5 minutes. Every waffle iron is different so cook time will depend on your waffle iron.
I topped my waffle with fresh raspberries, Purely Elizabeth pumpkin fig granola, Wild Friends pumpkin spice nut butter, and Walden Farms pancake syrup.
