Pumpkin Spice Buttermilk Waffles

Pumpkin Spice Waffles

I have no shame about being a pumpkin junkie.

I have a board dedicated to pumpkin recipes on Pinterest, which I consult when I am in the mood for something pumpkiny.

The mood can strike at any time of year, but it strikes most often in the fall – like right now.

Pumpkin Spice Waffles

Today I’m sharing my recipe for Pumpkin Spice Waffles with you because they are my current obsession.

The past two weekends I have made a batch on Sunday, threw the rest in the fridge, and enjoyed them warmed up in the toaster for breakfast all week!

I prefer to make these with buttermilk, but you can use regular milk if needed.

One of my must-have items is this Saco Pantry buttermilk powder that my friend Brooke introduced me to long ago.

It is a little pricey at around $5, but it lasts a long time and makes such a difference in recipes!

The pumpkin puree makes these waffles super moist, but can also lead to soft and mushy waffles.

I recommend transferring them to a cooling rack over a cookie sheet in a warm oven immediately after you make them, and NOT to a plate.

Also, my dad told me years ago not to take a waffle out of a waffle iron when the “ready” light goes on, but to instead wait for almost all of the steam to stop coming out of the waffle maker.

I would definitely suggest taking his advice for this recipe, or else you are guaranteed to get soggy waffles!

 

One more thing – because they are so moist, be careful to not overload the waffle iron.

If you do, the middle won’t get done. Here’s about how much batter I suggest using to get the best results!

I hope you treat yourself to some delicious pumpkin spice buttermilk waffles this fall (or anytime, of course)!
