Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1/4 tsp salt

1 1/4 cups unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1 cup canned pumpkin puree

2 tbsp maple syrup (or honey)

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 tbsp coconut oil (melted) or vegetable oil

Optional toppings: Greek yogurt, nuts, fresh fruit, maple syrup

Instructions
 

Prepare the waffle iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If necessary, brush with a little coconut oil to prevent sticking.

    Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk well until everything is evenly mixed.

      Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil until smooth.

        Combine mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold everything together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

          Cook the waffles: Pour approximately 1/2 cup of the batter onto the preheated waffle iron (amount may vary based on the size of your waffle iron). Close the lid and cook according to your waffle iron's instructions, usually around 4-5 minutes, or until the waffles are crisp and golden brown.

            Serve: Carefully remove the waffle from the iron and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve warm, topped with Greek yogurt, nuts, fresh fruit, and a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.

              Enjoy: Indulge in your healthy pumpkin oat waffles – perfect for breakfast, a snack, or even dessert!
