Pumpkin Spice Waffles are a cozy, fall-inspired breakfast made with a flavorful blend of pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Perfectly fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside, these waffles are the ultimate fall treat, topped with maple syrup, whipped cream, and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Ingredients

  • All-Purpose Flour: 2 cups – Forms the base of the batter, creating a fluffy and light texture.
  • Baking Powder: 2 tsp – Helps the waffles rise and become light and airy.
  • Pumpkin Pie Spice: 2 tsp – Adds the warming blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove that makes these waffles taste like fall.
  • Cinnamon: 1 tsp – Enhances the spiciness and warmth of the waffles.
  • Salt: 1/4 tsp – Balances the sweetness and brings out the flavors in the batter.
  • Milk: 1 1/2 cups – Adds moisture and helps create a smooth batter.
  • Eggs: 2 large – Provides structure and helps bind the ingredients together.
  • Pure Pumpkin Puree: 1 cup – The star ingredient, adding both flavor and moisture to the waffles.
  • Vanilla Extract: 1 tsp – Enhances the overall flavor and brings out the sweetness.
  • Melted Butter: 1/4 cup – Adds richness and helps the waffles crisp up nicely.
  • Brown Sugar: 1/4 cup – Adds a subtle sweetness and depth of flavor.

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: In a separate bowl, beat together the milk, eggs, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and melted butter.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Lightly grease the waffle maker and pour the batter onto the plates. Cook until the waffles are golden and crisp, about 3-4 minutes, or according to your waffle maker’s instructions.
  6. Finishing Touches: Once cooked, remove the waffles from the waffle maker and place them on a cooling rack to prevent them from getting soggy.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm with maple syrup, whipped cream, and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can toast the waffles in a toaster or oven after cooking.
  • Make sure the batter isn’t too thick: If the batter is too thick, the waffles may not cook evenly.
  • For fluffier waffles, separate the eggs and beat the egg whites before folding them into the batter.
