I’m sitting in blood testing center right now, next to a man who is drawing cartoons of penguins. He’s quite good. Like REALLY good. I wish I appreciated it more, but fasting for the past 12 hours has made me a bit moody. I wish I had art skills. I lack creativity.
Speaking of the lack of creativity, let’s talk about Halloween. I was rainbow bright. Original, I know. I didn’t even know who that was until I googled it. It was a friends costume. Every year I try to think outside the box for my costume. Then I remember that I have a life and don’t have hours of free time to use the hot glue gun and glitter paint on a costume I will wear once. At least other people were super creative. I think I only saw 23 angry bird costumes and 17 black swan outfits. Way to think outside the box people. Way.to.go.
So let’s recap. I drank alcohol on Saturday. Alcohol is stupid. It makes me fall on the dancefloor, leave Laura at a party I invited her to, and wake up in her bed. Not fully clothed. Side ponytail still rockin. I’m sure she was thrilled about that. Waking up the next morning with a fuzzy sweater on my teeth is not exactly a good start to my Sunday morning. Alcohol is stupid.
At least Sunday was productive. And when I say productive, I mean I watched 3 movies with Laura while ingesting food I haven’t eaten in a LONG time. These items included chex mix, peanut m&ms, halloween cookies, and tortilla chips. Maybe it was because I was still drunk or maybe my body just wanted it. Either way, it felt right. I didn’t get sick nor do I have a problem using the bathroom today. Ya my love handles are probably a bit cuter today, but I don’t mind. But to make sure my love handles were looking extra adorable this week, I made some pumpkin waffles to top off the day. Pumpkin waffles when hungover with a fuzzy blanket on your teeth are always a good idea. These waffles made me miss Dom. Remember how he got me the best waffle iron ever post Regionals so I could stuff my face with food that holds the syrup in small crevices? Gosh, he’s the best. This recipe made about 5 waffles….I ate them all. In one sitting.
Paleo Pumpkin Waffles
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup pureed pumpkin
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup canned coconut milk
- 1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 eggs, whisked
- 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Heat up your waffle iron!! If you don’t have a waffle iron, you need to go buy one, or just make pancakes instead.
- In a medium sized bowl, mix together coconut milk, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla.
- Then add the rest of the dry ingredients and pumpkin and mix together. Add a bit more coconut milk, if needed. The batter should be runny but still have a bit of girth to it. Ew, I just said girth.
- Ladle into your waffle maker. Be careful, they expand a bit so they will be pour over if you get ladle happy.
- Cook until done. Mine took about 3-4 minutes, I’d say.
- Add a crap ton of maple syrup on top and/or coconut butter or regular butter.

These stuck for me too! I think you need some oil in the mix. In another batch, I put some coconut oil – like 1 tbsp. Probably needs more – but they TOTALLY STICK!
OMG!!! It’s not just for fun that your name is PaleOMG!
Seriously! These are THE best tasting paleo waffles I have made in my two (short time I know;-) years of eating paleo!
YUM!
I read the comments below – thank you! and fiddled a bit with the cooking time! 3 minutes (well oiled) wasn’t quite enough and the waffle stuck to the top part of my waffle iron. After 4 minutes however it was just perfect and didn’t stick!
My batter was a bit on the “thick” side but they turned out amazing and looks exactly like yours n the photo!
THANK YOU!!!
very tasty but stuck for me too ;-(.. crumbled up the two 1/2s.. i think i’ll turn it into a lill crmbly topping for muffins or ice cream.
These were phenomenal waffles. They’re easily the best I’ve ever had, wheat or no. My first test waffle was crumbly. I cooked it too long. I cooked the rest for 3 minutes on the 4.5 heat setting on my Waring Pro and they were perfect.
Those having sticking issues…it’s not the waffles, it’s the waffle iron or pan you’re using. You need to season (oil and heat) your pan. Yes, even the non-stick ones. We always had issues until we started doing this.
Oh, my first attempt was crumbly too! But got it second time around.
YUM! Thank you! Perfect recipe that I was looking for to satisfy my pumpkin craving!
Recipe worked out perfectly for me. I used unsweetened almond/coconut milk (by Almond Breeze) as the liquid. Super yummy with bananas and maple syrup on top!
Definitely O.M.G……. These are the absolutely BEST paleo waffles I have ever made and tasted. I added one extra egg and it made 4 seriously huge waffles. I cooked them for 3 minutes exactly. Just perfect. No breakage and so soft and scrumptious. Thankyou so much for sharing this recipe 🙂
I made these to celebrate successfully completing the Lurong Living Paleo Challenge – 56 days without one cheat. They didn’t look beautiful – I’m still figuring out my waffle iron – but they were positively delicious with bacon and eggs.
When we go camping, I usually make pancakes one morning. This has been a challenge since switching to Paleo. Trying to bring along all the ingredients and mix them up in the trailer is a bit of a pain. I was considering making up the batter before we left, putting it in the fridge, and then cooking them up the next day. Do you think this would work with this recipe? Thank you!
i would think so!
I had the same problem as other posters in that these also stuck to my waffle iron (separated into 2 halves top and bottom). I added about 2T of coconut flour to the remaining batter and the rest of them came out great. They were really good. Will def make again. Thanks for the great recipes, Juli!
