Instructions

Preheat Oven and Waffle Iron: Preheat your oven to 200 degrees F to keep waffles warm after cooking. Also, plug in the mini waffle iron to begin preheating so it’s ready for batter cooking.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine coconut flour, arrowroot starch, coconut sugar, paleo baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk together thoroughly to evenly distribute spices and leavening.
Add Wet Ingredients and Whisk: Add the eggs, pumpkin puree, avocado oil, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Whisk everything together until a smooth batter forms.
Thicken the Batter: Let the batter sit for 5 minutes. This resting period allows the coconut flour to absorb moisture, thickening the batter to the right consistency for waffle making.
Cook Waffles: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the preheated mini waffle iron. Cook until the waffle is done, usually several minutes depending on your waffle iron’s specifics, until set and cooked through.
Keep Waffles Warm: Transfer cooked waffles to a wire cooling rack placed in the preheated oven at 200 degrees F. This keeps them warm and crisp while you finish cooking the remaining batter.
Repeat: Continue cooking and warming waffles until all the batter is used.

Notes

Make sure to allow the batter to rest after mixing; this ensures the coconut flour fully hydrates for better texture.
Use a mini waffle iron for smaller, snack-sized waffles that cook evenly.
Adjust coconut sugar quantity based on your sweetness preference.
These waffles can be served with paleo-friendly syrup or nut butter for added flavor.
Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in an oven or toaster for best texture.
