Total time: 
Serves: 6
 
Ingredients
  • Pumpkin Waffles:
  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk (from a carton)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cups gluten free all-purpose flour (I used Bobs Red Mill Flour)
  • ¼ cup sugar (I used organic beet sugar)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
  • ½ cup canned unsweetened pumpkin
  • ½ cup beer (I used gluten free beer)
  • Caramelized Pears:
  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut cream
  • 1 cup brown sugar (I used beet sugar)
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 pears, thinly sliced
Instructions
  1. Preheat a waffle iron.
  2. In a small bowl combine the unsweetened coconut milk and the vinegar and set aside.
  3. Meanwhile you are going to combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder and kosher salt and whisk them together. Stir in the melted oil, pumpkin and coconut milk/vinegar mixture and the beer and stir until you have a smooth thick batter. Set aside while you make the caramel.
  4. For the Caramelized Pears:
  5. In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut cream, brown sugar, vanilla and salt. Whisk together and let simmer over medium-low heat for about 8-10 minutes until golden and thickened. Add the pears and coat them with the caramel and allow everything to simmer for a few more minutes.
  6. While the pears are cooking in the caramel pour the first waffle into the iron. Cook until you have a golden crispy waffle and then top it with hot caramelized pears and caramel sauce and serve immediately. Repeat with the remaining waffle batter- you should get 6 waffles with pears and sauce.
