1 ¼cupsoat flour or all-purpose flouryou can also use oats that you grind in a food processor or coffee grinder
2teaspoonsbaking powder
½teaspoonbaking soda
½teaspoonsalt
1smallvery ripe bananamashed (about 1/3 cup) - you could also use unsweetened apple sauce or even more pumpkin puree
½cuppumpkin puree
1tablespoonagave nectar or maple syrup
1cupnon-dairy milk
2tablespoonscoconut oil(melted) or vegan butter
2teaspoonspumpkin spice
Instructions
Mix all of the dry ingredients together in a bowl, then mix all of the wet ingredients together in a separate bowl.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix together until fully incorporated.
Let batter sit for 15 minutes. While the batter rests, preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. I set mine two dials before max because I like my waffles crisp but also very fluffy.
Scoop out about ½ cup of batter and pour it into the waffle maker. Close the lid and let the waffles cook until the steam has completely finished to rise from the waffle maker. Remove each waffle and place on a wire rack until finished with the entire batter.
Serve while hot with maple syrup, coconut cream, candied pecans, or any other toppings.
Notes
Store the leftovers in an airtight plastic bag, separated by parchment paper. They'll last in the fridge for 3 days or in the freezer for 6 months, and can be reheated in the toaster.
Adjust the amount of batter that you use, and the heat of the waffle iron based on your iron and your preferences.
After cooking, place the waffles in a single layer on a wire rack to keep them from steaming and getting soggy. Keep them warm in an oven on the lowest setting if you're making a few batches.
