Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)

1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)

1/2 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt for vegan option)

2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

A pinch of salt

Optional toppings: sliced bananas, chia seeds, crushed nuts, or a drizzle of maple syrup

Instructions
 

Start by preheating your waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

    In a blender or food processor, add the rolled oats and blend until they reach a fine flour consistency. This will be your oat flour.

      In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk together to mix evenly.

        In another bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, almond milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.

          Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.

            Lightly grease the waffle maker with a little oil or spray. Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle maker, using about 1/2 cup of batter (adjust according to your waffle maker’s size).

              Close the waffle maker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions (usually for about 4-5 minutes) or until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through.

                Carefully remove the waffles and place them on a cooling rack or plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.

                  Serve warm with your choice of toppings such as sliced bananas, a sprinkle of chia seeds, crushed nuts, or a drizzle of additional maple syrup.
