Pumpkin Waffles are soft, spiced, and full of cozy flavor with just the right crisp edges. They’re simple enough for a weekday and special enough for slow weekend mornings.
Combine the pumpkin puree, milk, melted butter, and sugar in a medium mixing bowl. Stir until the mixture is smooth and everything is fully blended.
Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt directly to the bowl. Stir gently until the batter is just combined. It should be smooth but not overmixed.
Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high. Once it’s hot, lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray or brush with oil to prevent sticking.
Pour about 1/3 cup of batter into the center of the iron. Close the lid and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and crisp on the outside.
Remove the waffle carefully and set it aside on a cooling rack. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, reapplying oil or spray between batches.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings and enjoy the cozy flavor in every bite.
Notes
Chef Jenn’s Tips
Always use pure pumpkin puree, not pie filling with added sugar and spice
Make sure your waffle iron is fully heated before starting the first batch
Mix gently once the flour is added to avoid dense waffles
Spray or oil the waffle iron between batches to keep everything cooking cleanly without sticking
Add a pinch of nutmeg or clove if you want a stronger fall flavor
