Delicious Syn Free Pumpkin Waffles – perfect for fall, but can be enjoyed all year round.

Can’t beat starting the day with some delicious waffles and these Syn Free Pumpkin Waffles are one of my favourites. The contain a speed food (pumpkin) and are high in fibre. You do not need a better excuse to make these.

I love making my American Style Pancakes, but wanted to come up with a recipe I could use in my waffle iron. The mix for the pancakes is not quite the right ratio to add to a waffle iron, it will just stick and be very soft.

So I made a few adjustments and these are perfect. The best part of all is the waffles are syn free using your Healthy Extra B choice. This recipe does have some baking powder, but it is such a teeny amount, the syns are negligible.

I use a square waffle maker like this Andrew James Belgian Waffle Maker, which has a temperature control.

A temperature control might seem unnecessary, but it really does come in handy if you are going to be using it for different things. For example, when doing hash brown waffles I use a high temp, but for these Syn Free Belgian waffles, I use a low/medium temp. I also prefer the square shape waffle. But really a waffle is a waffle whatever shape you have.

The toppings you choose may add some syns, it is up to you what you decide to add. I went for pear, blueberries and maple syrup (2 syns for 1 tbs) and it was perfect!!! The pear compliments the pumpkin waffles so well.

Ingredients

• 40g/1.5oz of oats - 1 HEb 
• ¼ cup (60ml) of canned pure pumpkin puree (or fresh pumpkin puree)
• ¼ cup (60ml) of fat-free plain yoghurt (or can use a flavoured of choice)
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp of vanilla

• spray oil

Instructions

2. Add to a bowl with the cinnamon, allspice, sukrin (sweetener), vanilla, baking powder, pumpkin, yoghurt and egg
3. Mix well to combine
4. Set aside for 10 mins just to let the oats soak in the mixture for a little bit.
5. Heat waffle iron
6. Spray the waffle iron with spray oil and brush all over with a pastry brush, to coat all the grooves.
7. Add the mixture to your waffle iron (I got 2 waffles) but depending on waffle iron size you may get more, the key is to not overfill. 
8. Close waffle iron and cook for approx 5 mins, slowly lift the lid of waffle iron to check for doneness, if it doesn't lift easily, leave for another minute of so. 
9. Serve with your choice of toppings.

Notes

The syns in the baking powder is negligible, so I don't syn it in this recipe.
