Pumpkin Spice Waffles
Serving pumpkin spice waffles for breakfast topped with warm maple syrup and whipped cream creates the perfect fall morning!
Pumpkin Spice continues to be the rage each fall. Honestly, I think I saw it appear in August this year. I am not a fan of the infamous latte but love it in all baked goods. Trader Joe’s even had a crazy good Pumpkin Spice Kettle Korn.
I made these early in the fall but froze them, so I am ready when the craving strikes. Most days, I start with a protein shake, but every so often crave something different. Pop them in the toaster and you have a quick breakfast.
What is Pumpkin Spice?
Pumpkin spice is made from a mix of cinnamon, ginger, cloves and nutmeg. You can make your own or buy it in the spice aisle.
Have you noticed that many pumpkin spice recipes don’t have pumpkin? Not this recipe The 1 cup of pumpkin puree makes them soft and fluffy inside.
Make for a crowd
Hosting guests for Thanksgiving or holding a brunch for friends? It;’s funny how a little pumpkin spice turns an ordinary breakfast item into a special breakfast treat. You can make a batch of these pumpkin spice waffles and keep them warm on a baking sheet in a 200-degree oven until ready to serve.
Serve with warm maple syrup and whipped cream or vanilla yogurt. Sprinkle with a little pumpkin spice to finish it off.

Cooking for one or two? Make a batch and then freeze the extra waffles. I like to layer the cooled waffles between layers of parchment paper and place in a freezer bag.
