A comforting and easy homemade fall breakfast recipe featuring soft yet crisp waffles infused with warm cinnamon, nutmeg, and pumpkin puree. Perfect for autumn mornings and holiday brunches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup (50g) brown sugar
  • 1 cup (245g) pumpkin puree (canned)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup (56g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • Optional add-ins: chopped pecans or walnuts, chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron for about 5 minutes until fully heated.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, salt, and brown sugar.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add pumpkin puree, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Stir until smooth and combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined; some lumps are okay.
  5. Fold in optional add-ins like chopped nuts or chocolate chips if using.
  6. Lightly grease the waffle iron with butter or nonstick spray.
  7. Pour about ½ cup (120ml) of batter per waffle onto the iron. Close and cook for 4-5 minutes until steam stops and waffles are golden brown.
  8. Transfer cooked waffles to a wire rack in a warm oven (around 200°F / 95°C) to keep crisp while finishing the batch.
  9. Serve immediately with maple syrup, butter, or your favorite fall toppings.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep waffles tender. Preheat the waffle iron fully and grease it lightly before each batch to prevent sticking. For airier waffles, try separating eggs and folding in beaten whites. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
