Why This Recipe Is So Delicious
These waffles are a fun and tasty way to enjoy pumpkin flavor without the carbs. They come out crispy on the outside and soft inside, making them perfect for breakfast or a snack. Plus, they are quick to make and use simple ingredients.
Step 1
Heat up your waffle maker according to the instructions that came with it. In a small bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, egg, and a splash of maple extract until everything’s well combined. Then, stir in the mozzarella, almond flour, pumpkin pie spice, and baking powder until you have a smooth batter.
Step 2
Scoop about half of the batter onto the hot waffle maker, spreading it out gently with a spoon—just be careful not to overfill or it might spill over. Close the lid and cook the chaffle for around 3 to 4 minutes, or until the steam stops and it’s cooked through to your liking. Carefully take it out and repeat with the rest of the batter.
Step 3
While the chaffles cool, whip up the cream. Pour the heavy cream into a bowl and beat it on high speed until soft peaks start to form, which usually takes a minute or two. Then lower the speed, add your sweetener and a bit more maple extract, and continue whipping until the cream holds stiff peaks.
Step 4
To serve, place a chaffle on your plate, top it with a generous spoonful of whipped cream, and finish with a sprinkle of cinnamon. Enjoy!

You can try dairy-free cheese and coconut cream whipped topping as alternatives.
Can I skip the whipped cream topping?
