Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high heat. Lightly brush the top and bottom of the waffle iron with 2 tablespoons melted butter.
  2. To make the cinnamon sugar, combine sugar, brown sugar and cinnamon; set aside.
  3. To make the cream cheese glaze, combine cream cheese, confectioners’ sugar, milk and vanilla in a small bowl until smooth; set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice and salt; set aside.
  5. In a large glass measuring cup or another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, pumpkin, eggs, brown sugar and remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Pour mixture over dry ingredients and stir using a rubber spatula just until moist.
  6. Pour a scant 1/3 cup of the pumpkin mixture into the waffle iron, close gently and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 4-5 minutes. Working quickly, coat each waffle with cinnamon sugar.
  7. Serve immediately, drizzled with cream cheese glaze.
