SHARE

 

 

KDHamptons reader and fabulous foodie Jennifer Rizzo shares a fantastic new family recipe that we can’t wait to taste! She shares, “When November hits, I become pumpkin obsessed in the kitchen! It’s so healthy, so delicious, and SO good for you! One of my family’s favorite fall breakfast dishes that I make is Pumpkin Waffles. Check out my gluten-free recipe below:”

 

Recipe:

1 cup gf flour, pancake mix or waffle mix [my favorite gf flours from before Cup4Cup, Kinnikinnick Foods]

3/4 cup almond/coconut milk cold [I have started using almond/coconut milk recently in breakfast making and love it]

1/3 cup pumpkin puree

1 organic egg

1 tbsp coconut oil  (liquefy)

[optional addition] 1 tbsp raw whole grain quinoa  – gives a little extra crunch and healthy goodness!

 

Topping:

Take 1 apple and slice it thin. Sauté in 1/2 tsp coconut oil, plate,
then drizzle with natural pure honey, cinnamon and some powdered sugar. We always get our apples from the Milk Pail in Water Mill.

** The waffles are so sweet and delicious with the pumpkin/ coconut mixture that you really don’t even need syrup on them. The honey and cinnamon on the apples are enough.

 

 

Jen says, “ I love my Villaware waffle maker from Williams-Sonoma, and I LOVE coconut oil to cook with. The coconut oil spray makes the waffle maker clean up just a little easier! I also add Quinoa whenever I can, the kids do not even realize it’s in there, and a raw tablespoon of quinoa gives a little crunch and so much goodness!”

Happy November! To see more of Jennifer’s recipes and lifestyle tips follow her on twitter or instagram @famfoodfun
