Ingredients:
Here’s what you’ll need for the delicious pumpkin waffle batter. Chances are, you already have most of these items in your kitchen:
- 1 1/2 cups of flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 cup of whole milk
- 1/4 cup of heavy cream
- 1/4 cup of melted butter
- 1/2 cup of pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup of brown sugar
- 2 eggs
Instructions:
Making these pumpkin spice waffles is a breeze. If you enjoy whipping up homemade waffles, you’ll love these. Here’s how it’s done:
- Start by preheating your waffle maker.
- While it’s heating up, take a medium-sized bowl and whisk together the milk, heavy cream, melted butter, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and vanilla. Add the eggs one at a time, ensuring everything is well combined. It’s essential to have all these ingredients at room temperature before mixing.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and pumpkin pie spice until they’re fully incorporated.
- Create a well in the bowl with the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Whisk everything together, but don’t overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
- Now, your waffle iron should be ready. Give it a quick spray with non-stick spray and pour in the pumpkin waffle batter until it fills about half of the iron. As it cooks, it’ll rise.
- Once the timer is up, remove the waffle and serve it warm with your favorite toppings. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
