AYURVEDIC ANALYSIS
Treat yourself to the sticky-satisfying sweetness of Pumpkin Waffles drizzled with crunchy Pecans & Maple Syrup this weekend. Autumn-harvested pumpkin softens your mood and offers the rustic coziness you naturally crave as fall sets in. Topped with the rich aromas of fresh maple syrup and nutty pecans, this recipe will entice your senses and nourish your sweet tooth on chilly September mornings. Sleepy eyes open wide as the scent of fresh waffles wafts through the house, beckoning loved ones to the breakfast table. A hearty stack of fluffy waffles drizzled with Maple Syrup is a richly nostalgic treat that might just take you to childhood. A Breakfast Treat that's Safe & Healthy - The Kids will Love It The ingredients in this recipe offer the comfort of Saturday morning waffles & syrup without the deleterious side effects to conventional waffle mixes and syrups. Light-as-a-feather spelt flour is a happy alternative to heavy wheat flour used in traditional waffle recipes, and won't leave you feeling bogged down and tired. Ghee is lighter than butter and less cholesterol-forming. Almond milk won't provoke mucus in the same way that cow's milk does. Rustic, hearty, yet light for delicate digestion, Pumpkin Waffles are a guilt-free choice. Pumpkin Waffles with Pecan Maple Syrup will give you sustained energy without the heaviness, so you can productively go about your day. Feel Cozy with Grounding PumpkinPumpkin's gentle sedative effect encourages the body to relax into a state of welcome calm. You will feel relaxed in body and mind after a hearty breakfast of Pumpkin Waffles. Pumpkin comes into season just as your body starts to crave hearty foods and warmth. The bright orange gourd is a symbol of fall comfort. Pumpkin has a diuretic action, meaning it removes water weight for Kapha. This recipe cools down the fiery emotions of hot pitta with its luxurious sweetness, and is extremely nourishing for fatigue-stricken Vata. Crunchy and decadent, pecans are high in proteins and unsaturated fats, contributing to this recipe's strengthening quality. They even help to lower cholesterol. Maple's Rich Sweetness without the Sugar CrashMaple Syrup's rich aroma transports you back to nature, to the calm and cool serenity of the forest. Earthy impurities add a rustic component that indicates its richness in minerals. This full-bodied taste let's you know this is a whole food. Maple syrup literally comes from the sap of maple trees, juice that is the very nutritional lifeline of the tree. Consuming it nourishes your body as it does the tree. Maple syrup digests more slowly than other sweeteners, making it a favorite choice in Ayurveda for those avoiding a sugar buzz. When combined with the decadent oils and nourishing proteins of pecans, the sugary syrup becomes even more balancing and stabilizing. A pinch of salt adds a final burst of flavor, while aiding your easy digestion of this rich dish.

These look AMAMZING! Perfect for a fall weekend. Would you recommend an egg sub(Ener-G, applesauce?) to make it vegan and more sattvic? Thanks!!
- kp, Ranchos de taos, NM , 09-26-14 ( Reply) Where are the instructions for making the waffles? I only see directions for making the topping.
- Donna, Woodbridge, CT , 09-26-14 ( Reply) can whole wheat flour be used?
- STACEY HORNE, VA , 07-01-15 ( Reply) Delicious! We made them for dinner along with other comforting fall foods -- chicken thighs lightly basted with BBQ sauce, and green beans.
Aquafaba, the bean juice leftover after cooking chickpeas, is a great egg replacement. Add 2 TBSP per egg
