Pumpkin Waffles My Food Story

on Dec 13, 2023, Updated Jul 04, 2024 You’ve heard of Pumpkin Pie. You’ve heard of the Pumpkin Spice Latte. Now, meet Pumpkin Waffles! If you’re looking for pumpkin recipes to make the most of the holidays – I’ve got you covered. Want to cook more with pumpkin this season? Check out my Creamy Roasted Pumpkin Soup, Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Cookies, and Creamy Pumpkin Sausage Mac and Cheese recipes! This has been our go-to breakfast this pumpkin season – and an especially big hit with my 11-month-old. It’s essentially a traditional waffle batter that’s been spiced with some ground cinnamon, garam masala (almost like pumpkin spice), ground ginger, and of course, heaps of pumpkin puree! You can prep the batter ahead to use for busy mornings, and even make Pumpkin Pancakes using it. Whatever it is, this recipe always finds its way into our meal plans come December and has got to be on yours!
