Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or low-fat milk)
- 3 large Egg whites
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest (grated)
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with non-stick cooking spray or a brush of oil if necessary.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and salt.
In another bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, almond milk, egg whites, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Pour a portion of the batter into the preheated waffle iron (amount depends on your waffle iron’s size) and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter.
While the waffles are cooking, prepare the orange syrup. In a small saucepan, whisk together the orange juice, orange zest, maple syrup, and cornstarch mixed with water over medium heat.
Cook the syrup, stirring constantly, until it thickens and turns glossy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Serve the warm pumpkin waffles topped with the homemade orange syrup. Enjoy your low-fat breakfast treat!
