Is there ANYTHING more delicious smelling than fresh waffles and a pot of coffee brewing? (No, the answer is “no”)
It’s official. We’re finally in FALL. The temperature has dropped below 100, and it’s ALMOST time that I can leave my lip balm in my car and have it remain intact. Living in Phoenix, these are the days we dream of all summer. Every single year, the husband and I decide FOR SURE we’re moving out of Phoenix because it’s just TOO HOT and we’re definitely moving to somewhere cooler.
And every Fall we change our minds, and remember why we live here.
WHY THIS PUMPKIN WAFFLE RECIPE IS AWESOME
With just 2 bowls these waffles come together before you can even get your waffle iron heated up! You literally mix up wet ingredients in one bowl, dry in another, then fold together. Pour into the waffle iron, and ta-da!! Breakfast is served! It’s a great recipe for a Sunday.
Why should the rest of the country have ALL the pumpkin spice fun? I mean, is that really fair? We may not be able to wear uggs, and it’s definitely not “cute boots” weather… but give me all the pumpkin things!
FREEZER FRIENDLY
I make the full batch, and keep a few stored in the freezer for weekday mornings. A quick warm-up in the toaster and the smell wafts down the hallway… waking the husband and kids, and bringing them running! You can also heat them in a toaster oven if you wish.
- Flour – plain old all-purpose flour.
- Baking Powder & Baking Soda – these are what makes the waffles rise and be all fluffy and delicious
- Pumpkin Pie Spice – make your own! Or grab it from the store
- Pumpkin Puree – this is pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie mix. You can, of course, make your own pumpkin puree, but canned is super convenient.
- Eggs – I use extra large eggs
- Butter – I use salted butter
- Brown Sugar – I use 2% but any milk of your choosing is just fine, even almond milk does well in this recipe this is dark brown sugar, which is measured by packing it into the cup for accuracy.
- Milk –I use 2% but any milk of your choosing is just fine, even almond milk does well in this recipe

How to make Pumpkin Spice Waffles
- Heat your waffle iron according to manufacturer.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice and salt.
- In a medium bowl whisk together the pumpkin purée, eggs, butter, brown sugar and milk until well combined.
- Make a well in the dry ingredients, and pour in the wet mixture. Mix together until JUST combine, being careful not to over mix.
- Your mixture will be thick but pourable. If too thick add 1/3 cup extra milk.
- Pour batter into waffle iron, and cook according to waffle iron directions (my Belgian waffle maker will take longer than a regular iron).
- Remove from waffle iron, serve with butter and maple syrup.
- Devour.

Just made these with the kids for Christmas morning breakfast. They were a big hit! Recommend this recipe wholeheartedly.
Natalia says
Made them today! Really amazing! Pumpkin spices make them so special for an autumn mood!
Carole Getz says
Made for 1st time. Used the suggestion of 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder and 1/2 banana. Loved this. Although the waffles were “soggy” “limp” I just put in toaster oven to crisp up. Felt these were a healthy version so didn’t feel guilty eating. Thanks for sharing recipe.
Ginger says
Yum!
I swapped out the 1/2 cup of flour for some vanilla protein powder and added half a ripe banana for a little more sweetness. Delicious protein packed portable snack for my son today for his tournament!
Christine says
When you say a can of pumpkin purée … How much is that please?
Kylee says
It’s 1 cup. About half of a 15oz can of pure pumpkin puree.
Chase says
Very yummy. Thank you!
Jessica says
These look delicious! How do I adjust the servings? I don’t see how I can do that here. Secondly, can I make the batter the night before to make in the morning?
Kylee says
There’s a little slider in the recipe card that helps you adjust servings!
You can make it ahead, but I would probably just prep the dry, and the wet separately and combine in the morning.
Diane says
I made these this morning with homemade pumpkin purée. They were delicious. My husband ate THREE of them!
ReenaSingh says
