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.

Hi ! Could I batch cook these and then freeze ??
I made these today, but they where heavy and quite wet in the middle. Any advice please ?!?
Has anyone tried baking these in the oven using a silicone waffle tray? Not got a waffle maker so any advice appreciated.
I personally don’t like silicone bakeware so haven’t tested myself. A waffle maker is so quick and easy. You could certainly give it a try in the oven.
