The idea of pumpkin for breakfast sounds like pure Heaven. It might not feel very cool in Florida, but I’m still all about fall. It’s my favorite season! This recipe uses pumpkin puree in the base chaffle mix. The result is thicker chaffles that taste more like real waffles. Oh, and it smells divine too.

You can also top these chaffles with butter and sugar-free syrup. I’ve even seen some people dust their chaffles lightly with powdered sweetener too.

Are you going to eat this for dessert? Top it with some sugar-free syrup or even a scoop of keto-friendly ice cream.

If your macros allow, you could top this with a smear of sweet cream cheese from this whoopie pie recipe. This will taste like pumpkin cheesecake!

Freeze Pumpkin Chaffles For Later

These pumpkin chaffles freeze really well. If you freeze them, reheat them in your toaster for a really quick and easy breakfast.

To freeze them, lay them in a single layer on a baking sheet that is lined with parchment paper. Place this baking sheet and the chaffles in the freezer. This is called “flash freezing.” Once they are completely frozen, you can place them in a freezer bag together.

Flash freezing them first prevents them from sticking together in a huge clump in the freezer.
