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!

    I have trouble with all breakfast foods like pancakes, waffles and French toast. Yesterday I made Pumpkin French Toast for brunch with semi success. Next up – pumpkin waffles! These look so delicious and would make the best fall breakfast 🙂

    Oh yes!! I love waffles and I love pumpkin so these need to happen for me ASAP! I have a waffle iron at home and don’t use it a whole lot, but when I do I can feel your pain with the batter oozing out and the little bit of mess. I do enjoy the process though 😉 I can see this for breakfast real soon with a knob of butter and lots of maple syrup, but would love to try ’em with chicken too for dinner….one of my faves! Pinned, of course. Have a great week, Gayle!!

      It is a fun, but messy, process! Maybe I just need more practice! 🙂 And I love your idea about having this with chicken…yum! Thanks for the kind words and pin, Dawn!

    I’m with you…which is probably why I never mind when hubby wants to get in there and make them! 😉 Plus – he’s just masterful when it comes to pancakes and waffles! These do look amazing, Gayle! I’d love a stack!!

    Now I’m wondering why I don’t have a fancy waffle maker like that! Lol. Mine is so basic, but it does the trick! I’m so scared of it overflowing that I usually get waffles with a bunch of holes in them. These would be a BIG hit here!

    Well dang, you have a fancy waffle maker!! Mine only has a light that tells you when it’s preheated. No desired crispness meter or little batter scooper. Just ONE light. Maybe I need a new one, huh? But it’s my trust waffle maker!! 😉 Lol. Anyways, waffles do require some patience when cooking, but I think they make the most perfect fall breakfast and these look absolutely delicious Gayle (pumpkin and all)! Seriously, I could get down with a big ole stack of these babies! Pinned of course! cheers!

    Oh Gayle, I’ve totally been there with the waffle iron! Seems so simple… and yet… it mystifies me! Lol. I’m SO happy that you cracked this great waffle riddle, because now we have these amazing pumpkin spice waffles to enjoy. I’ve got to be honest here, when I read “And french toast, but that’s for another time.” I was like… UM, where is the pumpkin spice french toast? WHERE?? But these waffles should tide me over til then–ya know, being so perfect and all! 🙂 These are simply lovely, G. Hope you’re having an awesome start to the week! Pinned. 🙂

    These look perfect, Gayle! It’s been too long since I’ve made waffles too even though I had a huge obsession with them when we first got our waffle maker. Ours is just a basic one and I love how yours lets you select the perfect crispiness. I wish I had a stack of these cozy fall ones for breakfast this morning!

    Some might think waffles are a breakfast food, but I want these for dinner! They look wonderful, Gayle! And they’re filled with all the pumpkin goodness I’m craving!

    These look so fluffy and delicious, Gayle, and I love that you packed these full of a whole can of pumpkin AND Greek yogurt! I love making waffles so much more than pancakes because I hate flipping, even though the batter does often overflow. haha These look like the perfect fall breakfast!

    This is your blog name come to life! I wouldn’t have the patience to wait for waffles to cook perfectly if I had a waffle iron, either! Even with pancakes I tend to be impatient- these look so delicious 🙂

    I love pumpkin waffles this time of year and these look like the perfect combination of soft on the inside and crisp on the outside! My waffle maker isn’t quite as fancy as yours, but it gets the job done. I think you need to make more waffles to perfect your skills! 😉
