Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 ½ to 2 cups buttermilk
  • ¼ cup light oil such as vegetable, canola, or avocado oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Turn on your waffle iron and allow it to preheat according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, brown sugar, oil, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. It should be a smooth batter.
  • Lightly grease your waffle iron if needed. Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions until golden brown and crisp. Repeat with more oil to grease your waffle iron and the rest of the batter.
  • You can keep the cooked waffles warm in a 200 F. degree oven while the rest of the waffles cook.
  • Serve warm with butter, maple syrup, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of cinnamon. Enjoy your delicious pumpkin spice waffles!

Notes

  • These waffles freeze well! Let them cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the freezer. Reheat in a toaster or oven for a quick and easy breakfast.
  • These are also great with Homemade Buttermilk Syrup on top!
  • This is an easy recipe to double and save some for later. 
  • You can use ground cinnamon instead of the pumpkin pie spice if you don't have any.
