These Pumpkin Spice Waffles are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and filled with cozy fall flavors. You can satisfy your craving for pumpkin with this easy breakfast that’s sure to be a favorite all year long!
I’ve made pumpkin pie oatmeal, pumpkin nutella muffins, and even pumpkin spice granola.
But, you know what I haven’t made for breakfast yet? Waffles! And french toast, but that’s for another time.
In fact, it’s been way too long since I’ve made waffles, but there’s a reason for that.
See, I’m not really the best waffle preparer, if that makes sense. I can make a delicious batter, but I often lose patience when waiting for the waffles to cook in the waffle maker, resulting in either under-cooked (and overflowing out of the maker), to the extreme of being too crispy.
I know what you’re thinking…most waffle irons come with a light that tells when it’s cooked, and even comes with a handy dandy little batter scooper to ensure that you’re using just the right amount to get those nice, round waffles.
Well, I’m here to tell you that my waffle iron is exactly like that, with a dial to select your preferred crispness, a light to signal when it’s cooked, and a little measuring cup. Yet, I still fail in getting my waffles to be slightly crisp and round.
But after numerous tries, I finally perfected these Pumpkin Spice Waffles. Sure, the batter was oozing out of my waffle maker (maybe you remember my snapchat of that), I burned a few to a crisp, and under-cooked a few that stuck to the iron. But after several attempts and making the batter and working on my waffle skills, I got it!
