I’m not sure what I’m more excited about – the fact that it’s pumpkin season, or the fact that I have this fun new recipe to share: fluffy grain-free pumpkin waffles. Because, you guys – what is better than protein-packed (even if you don’t care about that) fluffy waffles?! Whether you are grain-free or not, I know you’re going to enjoy these for breakfast, lunch or heck, even for dinner.

Fluffy Grain-Free Pumpkin Waffle Recipe

  • This recipe makes just four waffles, so I generally double it to make eight altogether. You have been warned;).
  • Make sure to use canned pumpkin, and not pumpkin pie filling!
  • My favorite non-stick spray is this one from Chosen Foods. I prefer either the avocado oil spray or the mixed oil spray. They are super clean!
  • Ensure that the coconut flour does not have lumps in it (by sifting if needed).
  • Don’t have a waffle maker yet? This is a solid one that’s economical, too!

Why I’m on a grain-free diet

I went grain-free in January 2018. Believe me – it sounded like (and honestly was) the hardest thing initially. I mean, no oatmeal? No sushi? What about gluten-free snacks that I so enjoyed?

It took about 2-3 weeks to really get adjusted, but luckily I like to experiment in the kitchen and I found other flours – banana, sweet potato and cassava – that worked just fine and are grain-free. I’m a “probable” celiac, my GI tells me. I’ve got the gene and have had such a host of issues that have improved from going gluten-free, but have been without for so long that it’s tough to get an accurate read. I’m also hypothyroid and have rheumatoid arthritis. There; I said it out loud. Or in this post. Not many people know about this because I don’t like to talk about it, but the truth is, I’ve got inflammation and I need to do my best to help minimize it. And minimizing grains has been said to do this.
