Paleo Pumpkin Waffles

Who says you can't have waffles? Yay!!!! Finally a great Waffle recipe with no grains in it!

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 5
• Yields: 5 waffles (varies)

Ingredients

• 2  large bananas, mashed
• 1⁄2 cup pumpkin puree
• 5  large eggs
• 1⁄2 cup almond butter
• 1⁄4 cup  melted coconut oil, plus more for greasing the waffle iron
• 1⁄2 cup  coconut flour
• 2  tablespoons pumpkin pie spice
• 1  teaspoon baking soda
• 1  teaspoon baking powder
• 1  teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1  pinch  of fine-grain sea salt
•  maple syrup, for serving

Directions

1. Preheat the waffle iron.
2. Combine the bananas, pumpkin puree, eggs, almond butter, and coconut oil in a food processor or blender and mix well until the bananas are well blended with the other ingredients. Once smooth, add the coconut flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder, vanilla, and salt and blend until well mixed.
3. Lightly brush the waffle iron with the melted coconut oil. Using the waffle manufacturer’s guidelines for suggested cup quantity, ladle the batter into the preheated and greased waffle maker and spread it evenly across the surface, leaving a 1⁄2-inch border (the batter will spread when you close the lid). Cook, following the manufacturer’s directions, and when done set aside on a plate and keep warm while you cook the remaining waffles.
