A recipe highlighting pumpkin and cinnamon in August may seem a little early in the year. However, I had a bunch of leftover canned pumpkin from last year and I wanted to be resourceful and make it anyways. So here we are. These waffles (or cookies, as my two year old calls them – any sweet treat or baked good is a “cookie”) are super easy to whip up and are a great variation to the classic waffle. Coconut-flour baked goods can be a little on the egg-y tasting side, but the pumpkin in today’s recipe helps cover this up nicely. We had ours smothered in butter and sprinkled with a cinnamon and sugar mixture, but they would be equally delicious spread with almond butter or maple syrup. Funny enough, my toddler insists on eating her waffles plain, with no “fixings.” I guess this goes to show how tasty they are on their own. My waffle ironed yielded 2 large circle waffles, or 8 triangle pieces and was perfect for serving 2-3 people depending on their appetite. If you want to make them lower in sugar, simply substitute granulated monk fruit for the coconut sugar. I like to use this brand here. As always, I prefer to get my baking ingredients from Thrive Market, as it is the easiest and most affordable way. Enjoy!
