Im making an project onit

This recipe is a 5 as written. I’ve made it many times. However, I am now on a no dairy, no gluten, no sugar, no alcohol order from my doctor. I have a picky teenager, but I modified it, and he said it was DELICIOUS and couldn’t tell I modified it.

Substitutions made:
3 cups gluten free flour for all purpose flour
1/2 cup apple sauce for butter
1/3 cup coconut palm sugar and 1/3 cup honey for brown sugar for brown sugar
cut milk to 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (because I worried it may be thin))

I often toss the rest of the pumpkin or find the leftovers in my freezer months later. I took the extra pumpkin and added cinnamon, maple syrup and honey and heated it together on the stove in a pan. I put it on top of my waffles. I am also putting a spoonful of it in my coffee. Delicious.. but I LOVE pumpkin.

This was the most perfect Christmas breakfast I could ever ask for!

I made this for Christmas morning breakfast/brunch and it was a hit! Topped it off with a rum caramel whipped cream. Everyone was so impressed!

This is easy and always a big hit.   We toast up any leftovers as snacks throughout the week.
Michelle Barber
This was easy and very good. The batter is thick, so don’t think you mismeasured the liquid. I added toasted pecans on top at serving, and they were a hit with the waffles.

Gingerbread Waffles, Outstanding! I added just a little cornstarch, served with hot apples simmered in pure maple syrup!

Nice salty bacon or ham makes a perfect meal!raf

These are wonderful! Even the batter is yum 🙂 I must have a small iron, as I got 8 waffles out of my batch. Even better! I froze the extra to be warmed in the toaster for later. This is a keeper.
