There is nothing quite like the smell of pumpkin spice filling the kitchen on a slow weekend morning. These waffles have become a staple in my house because they strike the perfect balance between crispy edges and a soft, tender center that soaks up every drop of maple syrup.

I love serving these with a pat of butter and a sprinkle of chopped pecans for a little crunch. If you have extra pumpkin puree, feel free to freeze it in small bags so you can whip up a batch whenever the craving strikes.

🧺 Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cups milk
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
2 large eggs
1/4 cup melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer instructions.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.
3
In a separate bowl, mix the milk, pumpkin puree, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as a few small lumps are perfectly fine.
5
Lightly grease your hot waffle iron with a little oil or cooking spray.
6
Pour the batter onto the center of the iron and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
7
Serve immediately while hot with your favorite toppings.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to three days and reheat them in a toaster to keep them crispy. You can also freeze them in a single layer before moving them to a bag for easy weekday breakfasts.
