Ingredients
Paleo Pumpkin Waffles:
- 3 large eggs
- 1/3 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 3 Tbsp coconut oil melted*
- 2 Tbsp honey or pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup finely ground almond flour or hazelnut flour
- 1/2 cup tapioca flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
Spiced Caramelized Pears:
- 2 tsp coconut oil or olive oil
- 1 large pear peeled, cored and chopped
- 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1 Tbsp pumpkin seeds optional
Instructions
Make the Waffles:
- Add the ingredients for the waffles to a blender. Blend until completely smooth. Allow the batter to sit for 10 minutes.
- Preheat your waffle iron. Pour batter onto the center of the preheated waffle iron and secure the lid. Cook for 1 to 3 minutes, or until the light on the waffle iron signals it's finished (or cook longer for a crispier waffle).
- Top waffles with homemade paleo salted caramel and spiced caramelized pears.
Make the Caramelized Pears:
- Add the ingredients for the caramelized pears to a small skillet and heat over medium-high. Bring the mixture to a full boil and cook, stirring frequently, until the pears have softened and the liquid is very thick and sticky, about 15 to 20 minutes.
Notes
*You can also use grapeseed oil or oil of choice. Note if you use extra virgin olive oil, you may be able to taste the oil.
