Delicious Fluffy Pumpkin Waffles

In my house, the weekend usually means I’m whipping up a batch of pancakes or waffles. Halloween finally fell on the weekend this year, so I decided to update my usual waffle recipe. These Pumpkin Waffles are perfect because they are soft and airy inside with a perfectly crunchy exterior.

Pumpkin Waffle Batter:

There are certain rules when it comes to making either waffle and pancake batter. Over mixing is a big no-no. To prevent over mixing, mix the wet ingredients thoroughly before introducing them into the dry. Then stir the mixture just until it all comes together. So you will still have some lumps in your final batter, fight the urge to mix until the batter is smooth. I used pumpkin puree and the traditional pumpkin pie spices for my Pumpkin Waffle recipe, but you could definitely substitute the puree for canned pumpkin pie filling. If you use the pie filling, you don’t need to add any additional spices since it will already come with spices.

Not just for Breakfast:

Waffles are traditionally breakfast, but you just need to look at them as a type of cake. You could whip these up as a dessert and serve them with ice cream or whipping cream. Other toppings to consider are caramel sauce, chopped nuts, or even maple syrup (for either breakfast or dessert). I have a Belgian waffle iron because we like the deeper wells in our waffles, but you can use any waffle iron. My family loved these Pumpkin Waffles and I think you will too. Good luck and happy baking.
