Pumpkin Waffles
Pumpkin Waffles have everything - they are filled with pumpkin puree, warm fall spices and have an extra crispy exterior! Based on my Classic Crispy Waffles recipe, these pumpkin waffles are quick to make in 25 minutes and taste so good topped with butter and plenty of maple syrup! Enjoy with a Pumpkin Spice Latte for the perfect fall breakfast or brunch!

- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Cup of Yum
To Make the Wet Mix:
- In a large measuring cup, measure out the buttermilk. Whisk in the pumpkin puree, oil, melted butter and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until barely combined. Set aside.
- In another bowl, using a hand-mixer, beat the egg whites until foamy. Add the sugar and continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form. Fold the egg whites into the batter until just combined.
- Cook the batter according to your waffle iron’s instructions. I cooked mine for about 3 minutes. Repeat until you’ve worked your way through the batter. Serve with maple syrup and butter.
- Serves 4
Notes
- The crispiness will depend on your actual waffle maker. I use this one from Hamilton and it’s not expensive at all and it’s a total workhorse. If you’re looking for a small, inexpensive but quality waffle maker, it’s a solid choice.
- Don’t stack them. After you’ve finished cooking your first batch of waffles place them on a wire rack in a single layer. This helps air to flow around them otherwise they will steam and lose their crisp exterior.
- Pumpkin spice mix – Of course, you cannot make anything pumpkin without adding warm spices, I chose to go with pumpkin spice. I usually buy pumpkin spice but you can make it too–it’s super simple whichever works for you!
