Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 3 large eggs whisked
  • 1 ½ cup milk
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • ¼ cup brown sugar packed
  • 4 tablespoons butter softened
  • ½ cup pecans chopped
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream to whip for optional garnish when serving
  • ½ cup maple syrup for serving

Instructions
 

  • Combine the flour, baking powder, and pumpkin pie spice together in a medium bowl. Whisk the eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and butter in a separate bowl.
  • Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Continue gently until just combined. Do not over mix; leaving a few lumps is fine. Fold in the pecans.
  • Plug in and preheat the waffle iron. Spray with cooking spray if needed. Then cook according to the manufacturer’s directions.
  • Serve with optional whipped cream, additional pecans, and maple syrup.

Notes

  • Let the eggs, milk, and butter come to room temperature before mixing for a smoother batter.
  • Once out of the waffle iron, transfer the waffles to the oven and keep them on a low heat until you reach your desired crispiness.
  • Stir the wet and dry ingredients together just until combined. Overmixing can make the waffles dense and tough.
  • Get creative with toppings -  mix and match your favorites according to your mood. Peanut butter, Greek yogurt, caramel drizzle, and fresh fruit are great choices.
Serve: Serve waffles with whipped cream and syrup, fresh fruit slices, or meats like ham, bacon, or breakfast sausage for breakfast or brunch. Top with a scoop of ice cream for dessert or enjoy with hot or cold coffee or tea for a filling snack.
Store: Transfer batter to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Place cooked waffles in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in a toaster for 3-4 minutes over medium heat or in the oven for 3-4 minutes at 350 F.
