Description
Pumpkin Pie Spice Waffles are fluffy, golden, and full of cozy fall flavor. Made with pumpkin puree and warm spices, these waffles are crisp on the outside, tender on the inside, and perfect for breakfast or brunch during pumpkin season.
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk (or buttermilk)
- 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup melted butter (or vegetable oil)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional toppings: whipped cream, maple syrup, pecans, or cinnamon sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s directions.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
- In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined (do not overmix).
- Lightly grease the waffle iron and pour the batter in, using about 1/2 cup per waffle (depending on size).
- Cook until golden and crisp, usually 3–5 minutes per waffle.
- Repeat with the remaining batter. Keep finished waffles warm in a 200°F (95°C) oven if desired.
- Serve warm with whipped cream, maple syrup, and a sprinkle of cinnamon or chopped pecans.
Notes
- Substitute half the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for extra fiber.
- Make them dairy-free by using almond milk and coconut oil instead of butter.
- Freeze leftover waffles and reheat in a toaster for a quick breakfast.
- Add chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the batter for variation.
