Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, beat together maple syrup, heavy cream and pumpkin pie spice with eclectic mixer until soft peaks form; refrigerate until ready to serve.
  2. Heat oven to 375°F. Spread the pepitas in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring after 5 minutes, until they smell nutty and are light golden brown. Immediately toss with coconut oil, sugar and a pinch of salt.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the flour, 2 tablespoons of the sugar, baking powder, pumpkin spice, cinnamon and salt and whisk until well blended; set it aside. Add the egg whites to the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Beat in the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Set the eggs whites aside for a minute.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, buttermilk, pumpkin and coconut oil. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until just combined – do not overmix. Finally, fold in the whipped egg whites until the batter comes together. Heat your waffle iron to the desired setting and cook the waffles according to your appliance’s directions.
