Pumpkin Waffles Recipe
These Pumpkin Waffles with whipped honey butter, toasted pecans, and a drizzle of maple syrup are a delicious and cozy start to Fall mornings.
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 3 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 cup pumpkin puree, preferably Libby’s brand
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, measured correctly, or use gluten-free flour to make these gluten-free
- 1 Tbsp baking powder, aluminum-free
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
- 6 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- Nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions with your desired browning settings.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and sugar until well blended. Add pumpkin, milk, and vanilla and whisk until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, pumpkin spice, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk dry ingredients into wet ingredients, mixing just until moistened. Add in melted butter, whisking just until incorporated. The batter will be lumpy (do not over-mix).
- Grease your waffle iron grates using non-stick cooking spray.
- Ladle about 1/3 cup of batter onto the pre-heated and greased waffle maker, adding batter to the center of each waffle grid (the amount will vary based on your waffle maker, and Belgian waffles will require more batter). Cook until waffles are golden and crisp, about 4 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve with maple syrup or your favorite waffle toppings.
Notes
Makes 8 standard square waffles on a classic 4-square waffle iron, using about 1⁄3 cup batter for each waffle. You can also use a Belgian waffle maker but they require more batter to fill them out.
