Ingredients

12 ounces raspberries

Kosher salt

1 cup pumpkin puree 

3 tablespoons virgin coconut oil, melted and cooled slightly, plus more for the waffle iron

1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

6 large eggs, beaten 

6 tablespoons coconut flour

1 teaspoon cream of tartar

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Directions

  1. Put half of the raspberries in a small saucepan with a pinch of salt and 2 tablespoons water. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and the mixture comes to a boil and thickens to a jamlike consistency, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the remaining raspberries off heat. Let stand until ready to serve.
  2. Whisk the pumpkin, coconut oil, vanilla and eggs in a medium bowl until completely combined. Vigorously whisk in the coconut flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and 1/4 teaspoon salt until no lumps of dry flour remain.
  3. Prepare a waffle iron for medium-high heat and brush both sides with coconut oil. Fill each section of the iron about three-quarters of the way full (there should still be some waffle iron showing). Cook until the waffles are golden brown and slightly crisp, 6 to 10 minutes. Keep the waffles warm in a 200-degree F oven or covered with foil on a plate; repeat with the remaining batter. Serve with the raspberry compote.

I loved these waffles, only I didn't have canned pumpkin or coconut oil so I substituted a 15 oz can of yams and olive oil. I also recommend doubling the vanilla and adding a hint of nutmeg. I put the yams in the food processor, blended 'til smooth, added the oil, vanilla and eggs then blended again until smooth. Then add the other ingredients. This recipe could use a little less coconut flour and still be great.
