What I Love About These Pumpkin Waffles
I like to make a double batch on weekends and freeze the second for busy weekday mornings. A quick turn in the microwave delivers a warm breakfast any day of the week. Especially on blustery mornings!
Add some melting butter and a drizzle of warm maple syrup, and suddenly, the morning becomes beautiful, and the autumn colors dazzle—no matter what the weather decides to do.

Waffle Ingredients
Here’s what you need:
- Flour: I’m using all-purpose flour, but you could also use an all-purpose gluten-free flour too.
- Pumpkin: Be sure to use pure pumpkin instead of pumpkin pie mix.
- Leavening: Baking powder gives these waffles the rise we love.
- Seasoning and Spices: Salt, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves bring all the pumpkin spice flavors to life!
- Eggs: I use large eggs, which help bind the ingredients together
- Sweetening: Firmly packed brown sugar delivers the perfect sweetness to balance the flavors.
- Milk: Contributes moisture and overall richness to these waffles.
Waffle Irons
I own both of these waffle irons and use them interchangeably with our whole wheat waffles and banana waffles recipe.
