If you love all things pumpkin and pumpkin spice favor, then you will love these homemade pumpkin spice waffles.  They're full of all your favorite fall spices and flavors and perfect for pumpkin season.  Serve these fresh waffles with maple syrup, toasted pecans, and whipped cream the next time you want a great way to start your day.

We’ve been making these pumpkin waffles for years, and they’ve become a family favourite during the fall season.  I say we, but actually my husband is the one who usually makes breakfast on the weekends.  This pumpkin waffle recipe is so yummy that he usually makes a double batch of them.  If you love all things pumpkin and the warm species of pumpkin spice, then you'll love them too.

Homemade Pumpkin Waffles Recipe

These are the perfect fall treat, easy to make, and the taste of pumpkin that every autumn should include.  If you didn’t have a waffle maker, you could make these into pumpkin pancakes instead.

Pumpkin Spice

We choose to add individual spices to this recipe instead of using pumpkin pie spice which is a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, ginger, and cloves.  This recipe calls for the warm spices of ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.  They give all the flavor of traditional pumpkin spice and are perfect for these fall waffles.

Pumpkin Puree

Not only are these easy pumpkin waffles full of pumpkin spice, they also have real pumpkin in them.  Look for pumpkin purée in the baking aisle of your grocery store.  Be carefully not to pick up the pumpkin pie filling, which usually looks very similar and is in the same section.  Canned pumpkin pie filling contains sugar and pumpkin pie spice, and other ingredients.  This recipe calls for pure pumpkin puree.  The real pumpkin adds so much fall flavor to this dish.

Pumpkin Waffle Toppings

We love to serve these fluffy pumpkin waffles with our favorite toppings of toasted pecans, whip cream, and maple syrup.  You may be tempted to skip the pecans, but they do really add so much to the dish.  And also be sure to toast them,  It makes them more crisp and enhances the nutty flavor.  It only takes a few minutes to do in a dry frying pan.  Just be sure to watch the pan carefully and flip them as soon as you see them turning golden brown.  They can burn very quickly.  Definitely stay with the pan while they're cooking and don't walk away from it.

We love real maple syrup on pancakes, but you can use whatever syrup you prefer.  And the whipped cream is a really delicious addition, even if it's not homemade.

If you're a chocolate lover, you can add some chocolate chips to your waffle batter and have chocolate chip pumpkin spice waffles.  And for double chocolate add a drizzle of chocolate syrup on top.

Waffle Iron

We used a regular waffle iron to make these waffles.  When most waffle irons are first plugged in they need a few minutes to preheat.  After the waffle iron is preheated and ready to go there is often a green light that comes on.  Some waffle irons have a light that indicated when the waffle is finished cooking.  Other waffle have the light come on when the waffle iron comes back up to temperature, and has nothing to do with if the waffle is cooked yet.  If you're waffle iron doesn't have a light so show when it's done, you can use a timer, or look for signs like no more steam coming out of the waffle maker, and crisp waffle edges to know if your waffle is done cooking.

how to make Pumpkin Waffles

Store any leftover waffles in an airtight container in your refrigerator.  You can also freeze any extra waffles.

We sometimes make extra. The extras get individually frozen on a cookie sheet.  Lay the cooked waffles out in a single layer on a parchment lined baking sheet and set in the freezer.  As soon as they are frozen remove the tray and place the individual waffles in a ziplock bag in the freezer. These are great for breakfasts on a busy school day morning.  

Just take one out of the freezer and warm it up in the toaster or toaster oven.  How to make your Monday morning a little bit better.
