Pumpkin Spiced Waffles

I know it’s not exactly fall anymore, but I didn’t have my waffle iron back in the fall so I am making pumpkin spiced waffles now. 🙂  Since we got the waffle iron, waffles have become a weekend tradition.  My daughter Meadow seems to just love them.  I have made Blueberry Oatmeal Waffles and Strawberry Banana Waffles in the past.  This week I made these pumpkin spiced waffles and they were a hit!

Recently, in my quest to learn all about flours, I learned that there is such a thing as white whole wheat and that it is actually a whole grain.  So I bought a bag and made these with it.  I think they turned out much fluffier than waffles made with whole wheat.  I can’t wait to experiment more with it.  I find it works well to mix all the dry ingredients the night before so these can be made quickly in the morning for my hungry three year old.

Recipe Notes

I got about 5-6 big waffles out of this recipe. You can freeze the extras if you have any. Just place a sheet of parchment paper in between each one. Easy peasy.

  1. Hi! I just found your site the other day and absolutely love it! I'm assuming but want to double check that you are using a 15 oz can of pumpkin for this recipe, right? Thanks!
  2. I usually grind winter white whole wheat for our bread; it makes a much lighter loaf than the usual red winter wheat. Sometimes I even use it in goodies I make for others, and they don't ever seem to notice that it's whole wheat! I am going to try your recipe for pumpkin waffles on Monday. They look soooo yummy!
  3. Made these this morning with my 8 & 6 year old daughters. They had a lot of fun making them and eating them! I was able to get 12 waffles from this recipe. I had to cook them about 3 minutes in my waffle iron instead of the usual 2 minutes. Looking forward to pulling these out of the freezer for quick school morning breakfasts. :)
  4. Best Christmas breakfast ever! Added mini chips and topped with chopped walnuts, fresh whip and sliced strawberries. I also got 12 waffles from the recipe and I can't wait to eat the leftovers.
  5. Would it be possible to make these gluten free? Oat flour? I got a waffle maker for Christmas and I would really like to try these! Thanks, Melissa!
  6. I will try this recipe soon. We recently got a Hamilton Beach waffle maker with removable grids for washing. We love that feature, plus it makes great waffles!
