These Pumpkin Seed and Almond Flour Waffles are a wholesome, nutty, and protein-packed breakfast option that’s both gluten-free and low-carb. They’re crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and full of earthy flavors from pumpkin seeds and almonds.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas), finely ground
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil or melted butter
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt
  • Cooking spray or extra oil for waffle iron

Instructions

  1. Preheat the waffle iron and lightly grease with cooking spray or oil.
  2. In a blender or food processor, grind pumpkin seeds into a fine meal.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, almond milk, coconut oil, and honey/maple syrup.
  4. Add almond flour, ground pumpkin seeds, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix until a smooth batter forms.
  5. Pour batter into the preheated waffle iron and cook according to manufacturer’s instructions until golden brown and crisp.
  6. Serve warm with toppings of choice such as yogurt, fruit, nut butter, or syrup.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, leave some pumpkin seeds coarsely ground instead of finely milling all.
  • These waffles freeze well and can be reheated in a toaster.
  • For a sweeter version, add a little vanilla extract and extra honey/maple syrup.
