Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 2 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup buttermilk (or greek yogurt)
- 1/3 cup oil
- 2 eggs separated
- 1/2 cup pumpkin
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- white chocolate chips to top
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In a separate mixing bowl, mix together buttermilk, oil, pumpkin, egg yolks and vanilla
- Using a hand mixer, whisk your egg whites and white sugar to soft peak (hold their shape but the peak flops over immediately when the beaters are lifted up.
- Begin heating your waffle iron. Mix together your dry ingredients with your wet. Gently fold in your whipped egg whites into your mix. You do not want to flatten down the air incorporated in them, it is okay if you see white speckled through the batter.
- Pour the batter onto the waffle iron and cook per waffle iron instructions. (A hot setting makes for a crispier waffle, lower setting makes a softer waffle)
- Immediately place chocolate chips on top of waffles so the heat allows them to melt. If you are making a lot of waffles, you can keep them warm in your oven on a sheet tray at 200 degrees F.
