It’s the time of year for PUMPKIN! My favorite time of year to be completely honest!
I made Pumpkin waffles this past week. I adapted my recipe for Ban-Apple Chocolate Chip Waffles. I simply replaced the 1 Cup of Banana for 1 Cup of Pumpkin and omitted the chocolate chips.
The best part of this recipe was the caramel sauce that I made. I used The Pioneer Woman’s recipe; however, I made it allergy free. To make this allergy free use rice milk and Earth’s Balance butter instead of 1/2 and 1/2 and regular butter. If you do not need it allergy free, make the same way she instructs. It is amazing, seriously my husband and I had to force ourselves not to eat it all!
I made a few pieces of bacon to go with the waffles, and we had a perfect start to a beautiful fall day!
Allergy Free Pumpkin Waffles
Ingredients
- 1 2/3 Cup Rice Milk or Regular Milk
- 1/2 Cup of Applesauce
- 2 Tbsp Water
- 1 Cup Canned Pumpkin
- 2 Cups of Flour or Gluten Free All Purpose Flour
- 2 Tbsp of Brown Sugar
- 1 Tbsp Baking Powder
- 2 Tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
Instructions
- I started by preheating the waffle iron. Then, I mixed the milk, applesauce, pumpkin, and water in a small bowl. In a separate bowl I mixed the flour, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and baking powder. Then, I poured the dry ingredients over the liquid ingredients.
- I poured a small amount of the mixture over the waffle iron until the green light comes on and the waffles are done.
- Note: Based on reviews of this recipe, it's been noted that when making it allergy free the inside batter is not fully done. If that occurs, I would suggest cutting the applesauce in 1/2 and/or possibly leaving on the waffle iron a bit longer to be sure that the inside fully cooks. We cook these regularly and have not run into this issue; however, cutting that down or cooking longer should do the trick.

I do not, but if you put it into Myfitnesspal.com you can add the recipe and get the nutritional info that way.
Tammy says
Thank you! I had not even thought about doing it that way and I use MFP. 🙂
Bekah says
These smelled amazing while cooking, but the middle was gooey and the outside crunchy and stuck on the iron. It’s not my iron. Any ideas?
Mommy Hates Cooking says
I have made these several times and haven’t had that happen often; however, if it did I would try cutting down on the applesauce since that’s an added liquid to the mix.

Just attemped making these for my family as a pre-thanksgiving breakfast. The batter smelled amazing, but I too had issues with the middle being gooey. 🙁 Very disappointed. The search continues for an egg free waffle batter…..
Kristy says
Hmmm…I make these all the time so I’m not sure why they are doing that on the inside. I would think either cutting down the applesauce or leaving them on the waffle iron longer would help. I’m going to try it with 1/2 the applesauce and see what kind of result I get. We make them at least once a month with no issue, so we’ll see what happens with 1/2 applesauce in it.
Traci says
Please do and let us know how it goes!

I tried making these BUT used a different recipe….sadly though I had the same problem. The batter looked great, smelled great but they too came out gooey in the center. I don’t know what it is either! Next time I try these I am going to add more flour and leavening agent….maybe that will do the trick of absorbing some of the moisture during the cooking process.

Tried these as written about 2 weeks with the dough-y end product many ented on. Took the advice of halving the applesauce and used 1 c whole wheat/1 c all purpose flours and they turned out amazing! Not doughy, just simply delicious! Thanks for a great breakfast-for-dinner recipe!!
Kristy says
So glad that worked out that way for you! I have yet to have the too gooey problem but have heard that it has happened too and cutting the applesauce works. I wonder sometimes if it has to do with altitude/cook times with the waffle irons too.
