Golden pumpkin waffles

Golden pumpkin waffles are a delicious variation of traditional waffles, combining the smoothness and sweetness of pumpkin with a very characteristic spicy touch. This recipe has its roots in American cuisine, where pumpkin is an emblematic ingredient during the fall season and holidays like Thanksgiving. In several Latin American countries, although the waffle itself is primarily known in its classic form, this pumpkin version has gained popularity for its comforting and nutritious flavor. In countries like Mexico, Argentina, and Colombia, waffles keep the traditional name "gofres," although in some places they may also be called "waffles," adding a local twist with this very typical ingredient.

The fusion of textures and flavors in golden pumpkin waffles makes them a perfect option for a special breakfast or snack, loaded with that autumn essence that is so enjoyable. Furthermore, by incorporating whole wheat flour and egg whites, the recipe offers a healthier option without losing that indulgent side that characterizes waffles. It is an excellent way to use pumpkin, a nutritious and versatile food that provides color, flavor, and essential nutrients.

How to Make Golden Pumpkin Waffles

To prepare these tasty golden pumpkin waffles, start by greasing a waffle iron with non-stick spray and preheat it according to the manufacturer's instructions.

In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, whole grain cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix well and set aside.

Place the egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat on high speed until soft peaks form. Set aside until it's time to fold them into the main mixture.

Add the pumpkin and skim milk to the flour mixture and mix until a homogeneous batter is achieved.

Gently fold in the beaten egg whites with enveloping motions to maintain aeration and achieve a fluffy texture.

Place approximately 1 1/4 cups of the batter onto the prepared waffle iron.

Bake for six to eight minutes, or until the waffle iron stops releasing steam and the waffles are crispy and golden.

Serve hot and enjoy a nutritious and flavorful breakfast.
