Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour or oat flour for a gluten-free option
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree plain and unsweetened
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup plain peanut butter no xylitol
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon brewer's yeast optional, for added nutrition
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon optional, use sparingly

Equipment

  • 1 Waffle maker
  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Measuring cups
  • 1 Measuring spoons
  • 1 Whisk or spoon
  • 1 Parchment paper (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. Whisk until well blended.
  3. In another bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, applesauce, peanut butter, water, and egg until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until fully incorporated. If using, fold in the brewer's yeast.
  5. Lightly grease the waffle maker with a small amount of oil, if needed.
  6. Pour the batter into the waffle maker, filling it about halfway (the batter will expand).
  7. Close the waffle maker and cook for about 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown and firm.
  8. Carefully remove the waffles and allow them to cool on a wire rack.
  9. Repeat the process with the remaining batter until all waffles are cooked.

Notes

Storage & Reheating:
Store the waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply warm them in the microwave for a few seconds or let them thaw at room temperature.
Variations:
- Add mashed bananas for a sweeter flavor.
- Incorporate shredded carrots for extra nutrition.
- Substitute sweet potato puree for pumpkin for a different taste.
- Mix in blueberries or chopped apples (no seeds) for added fruity goodness.
