These pumpkin waffles remind me of my mom’s pumpkin pie and these pumpkin muffins. It’s like your having dessert for breakfast. Just kidding! My little taste tester’s Miss E and Q gobbled these waffles up with smiley faces. I mean who doesn’t love pumpkin, they are healthy and delicious.
Pumpkins are a fall must have in my house. Not just for carving but eating as well, sweet pumpkins that is. The flesh of pumpkins are a great source of fibre, vitamin A & C, folate, potassium, and phosphorous. Similar to other orange vegetables, they are high in the antioxidant beta carotene which is a precursor to vitamin A. Vitamin A plays a key role in night vision, healthy skin and teeth.

To be honest, I have very little experience with making gluten free foods. For some reason I just couldn’t get the right ratio of flours. With a little (more like a lot) of experimenting, I found the combination of brown rice, oat, and buckwheat flours worked the best. One thing I love about gluten free recipes is they tend to use healthier ingredients, by healthier I mean less sugar. We could all go for less sugar in our diets.
