I couldn’t wait to share this specific recipe with you guys. Of all the recipes I developed for this series, this one has to be my favorite. After just one try I got this recipe just right. That never ever happens! So I knew this would be a special one. The flavors in this recipe are to die for. It has the perfect blend of pumpkin, pumpkin spice and chocolate. It is the best fusion of flavors I have ever had before.

How to make Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Waffles:
- In a large mixing bowl whisk together eggs, maple syrup, coconut oil and pumpkin puree. Sprinkle in cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, pink sea salt, and drizzle vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
- Add in dry ingredients; almond flour, tapioca flour and baking powder. Continue to whisk until there are no traces of flour and batter is formed. Fold in chocolate morsels.
- Grease and heat waffle maker on medium-high heat.
- Pour about 1/2 cup batter into waffle maker and pull top down. Allow waffle to cook until green light turns on or however your waffle maker indicates waffle is done. Depending on your waffle maker you may need to leave your waffle a bit longer until it gets crunchier. This also depends on how crunchy on the outside you want your waffles to be. If they look good enough for your liking, remove waffle. If not leave for another 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Repeat last step until batter is done and all waffles are cooked through. Keep cooked waffles on cooling rack if possible.
- Serve waffles warm or freeze for later once they completely cool-down. Top with butter and maple syrup. These are great topped with banana slices and raw walnuts too.
Tips for making Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Waffles:
- Make sure no flour streaks are left when mixing batter- Unmixed flour in batter will result in not evenly cooked waffles and for certain parts to ramain uncooked. Make sure to whisk the batter well and that there aren’t any streaks of flour left in it.
- Careful not to use too much coconut oil when greasing waffle maker– If too much is used, as the oil melts it will water down batter and waffles will become too mushy. Use no more than 1/2-1 tsp coconut oil.
- The time it takes for waffles to cook through may vary depending on waffle maker and on how crispy you want your waffles– If you like your waffles to be crunchy on the outside, leave them for a few seconds longer until they are as crispy as you’d like them to be. Keep checking about every 30 seconds to make sure the waffle doesn’t get burnt. Repeat until all batter is gone and waffles are all cooked through.
- Do not use metal utensils to flip waffles in waffle maker- Metal utensils such a spatula, can scratch your waffle maker and start to ware out its coating. This will then cause your waffle maker to not heat up evenly and not cook waffles evenly as well. Instead, opt for using silicone spatulas to flip your waffles.
- Keep cooked waffles on cooling rack if possible– This way waffles will cool-down evenly and stay crunchy and firm on the outside.
How to store waffles:
This recipe makes six waffles so if you have any leftover or doubled the batch just keep them refrigerated. Keep them in Tupperware or a silicone bag in the fridge for up to 5 days. These waffles are also great to freeze. Keep them frozen for up to 3 months.
Meal Prepping it:
These Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Waffles are great for meal prep. Make them for the week ahead or freeze for later. As a good rule of thumb, I always try to make one breakfast food as part of my meal plan for the week. This helps me have breakfast ready-to-go for a couple of days at least.
