Ingredients

  • Nonstick cooking spray

  • ½ cup gluten-free all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup vanilla-flavor whey protein powder

  • ¼ cup coconut flour

  • ¼ cup flaxseed meal

  • ¼ cup sugar (see Tips)

  • 2 teaspoons arrowroot or cornstarch

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk

  • ¾ cup canned pumpkin puree (see Tips)

  • 3 egg whites

  • 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

  • 1 tablespoon Sugar-free maple syrup

  • 1 tablespoon Frozen light whipped dessert topping, thawed

  • 1 tablespoon Ground cinnamon

Directions

  1. Lightly coat waffle baker with cooking spray. Preheat a waffle baker on high (the waffle baker needs to be well heated to avoid sticking). Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Set a wire rack on a baking sheet; place in oven while it's preheating.

  2. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl combine gluten-free all-purpose flour, whey protein powder, coconut flour, flaxseed meal, sugar, arrowroot, baking powder, the 2 teaspoons cinnamon, the baking soda, and ginger.

  3. In a large bowl whisk together almond milk, pumpkin, egg whites, grapeseed oil, and vanilla. Add flour mixture to pumpkin mixture; stir until well mixed. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes or until batter thickens.

  4. Spoon a scant 1/4 cup of the batter into each section of the waffle baker; spread batter to cover grids. Close lid quickly; do not open until done. Bake according to manufacturer's directions. When done, use a fork to lift waffle off grid; transfer waffle to wire rack in oven. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve warm. If desired, serve with syrup, dessert topping, and/or additional cinnamon.

Tips

Tips: For a sugar substitute, choose from Splenda Sugar Blend, C&H Light Sugar Blend, or Truvia Sugar Blend. Follow package directions to use product amount equivalent to 1/4 cup sugar. Per Serving with Substitute: Same as above, except 183 cal., 21 g carb. (6 g sugars). Exchanges: 0 carb.

For best results, use a thick, canned pumpkin such as Whole Foods 365 Everyday Value brand. If needed to remove excess moisture, spread the pumpkin puree onto a few layers of paper towels; top with several more paper towels and press gently.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
