Deliciously spiced pumpkin waffles made with pumpkin puree and warm autumn spices, perfect for a cozy breakfast or brunch. These waffles are moist and flavorful with a hint of maple syrup sweetness and a crispy golden exterior.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free 1:1 flour blend)
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 3 tbsp melted unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 ½ cup buttermilk

For Cooking

  • Avocado oil as needed for cooking

Instructions

  1. Preheat Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring it is sufficiently hot before cooking the waffles.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, pumpkin pie spice, ground cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and fine sea salt until well combined to evenly distribute the spices and leavening agents.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then add the maple syrup, melted unsalted butter, vanilla extract, pumpkin puree, and buttermilk. Whisk until smooth and fully incorporated.
  4. Make the Batter: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined, being careful not to overmix to avoid tough waffles.
  5. Prepare Waffle Iron: Lightly brush or spray the waffle iron with avocado oil to prevent sticking.
  6. Cook Waffles: Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron (amount will vary depending on your equipment). Close the lid and cook until waffles are golden brown and crisp, usually about 4-5 minutes per waffle. Avoid opening early to ensure proper cooking.
  7. Serve: Carefully remove waffles and serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as butter, syrup, or whipped cream. Keep cooked waffles warm in a low oven if preparing multiple batches.

Notes

  • Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to avoid added sugars and spices that could affect the flavor balance.
  • For a gluten-free version, use a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend.
  • Do not overmix the batter; lumps are okay for a tender waffle texture.
  • Adjust cooking time according to your waffle iron’s specifications to avoid burning or undercooking.
  • Waffles are best served fresh but can be reheated in a toaster or oven for crispiness.
