Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• Whipped cream, for topping
• Caramel sauce, for drizzling

How to Make Pumpkin Waffles with Whipped Cream

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and brown sugar until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, egg, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
5. Lightly grease the waffle maker with cooking spray or a little melted butter.
6. Pour the appropriate amount of batter (usually about 1/2 cup, but check your waffle maker) onto the hot waffle iron and close the lid. Cook until the waffles are golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes.
7. Carefully remove the waffles and keep them warm in a low oven (about 200°F) while you cook the remaining batter.
8. To serve, stack the waffles on plates, top with a generous dollop of whipped cream, and drizzle with caramel sauce.

For the best pumpkin waffles, use pure pumpkin puree rather than pumpkin pie filling, as the latter contains added sugar and spices. Ensure your baking powder is fresh for optimal rising. If the batter appears too thick, you can add a bit more milk to reach your desired consistency.

Easy Variations

• For a nutty flavor, add 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter.
• Replace half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier twist.
• Incorporate chocolate chips for a sweet surprise.
• Serve with maple syrup or honey instead of caramel for a lighter option.

What to Serve With It

Pair these delicious pumpkin waffles with:

• Fresh fruit, such as sliced bananas or berries.
• Scrambled eggs or bacon for a hearty breakfast.
• A warm cup of spiced apple cider or pumpkin spice latte.

Storage and Reheating

These pumpkin waffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a toaster or oven until warmed through. You can also freeze the waffles for up to 2 months. To freeze, let them cool completely, then place them in a single layer on a baking sheet in the freezer. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag. Reheat directly from frozen in a toaster or oven.
