I’m loving fall breakfast lately! I save these kind of recipes for the weekend and it always gives me something to look forward to. These waffles are one of my favorite fall breakfasts especially when topped with this incredibly delicious Apple Cider Syrup and a little sweetened whipped cream. The flavor combination of the two is simply irresistible and it couldn’t be more fall inspired.

Don’t skip the step of separating the eggs and whipping the whites in this recipe. Using the whipped egg whites will give you a fluffier, not so dense waffle. It may seem tedious, and more what I’m thinking is one extra dish to clean, but it’s worth that extra dish. It really just creates such a light and fluffy batter. Also, if you don’t plan on serving the waffles with the Apple Cider Syrup then you could definitely up the spices a little if you’d prefer (I don’t think it really needs more but some of you may).

Enjoy! Happy Fall!

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 225 degrees and preheat a belgian waffle iron (non belgian should work fine too) to medium heat.
  • In a large mixing bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg for 20 seconds. Create a well in center of mixture then set aside.
  • To a separate medium mixing bowl add egg whites and cream of tartar, then using an electric hand mixer set on high speed, whip until soft peaks form, then add 2 Tbsp of the granulated sugar and whip until medium-stiff peaks form.
  • In a separate medium mixing bowl whisk together milk, buttermilk, canola oil, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, egg yolks and remaining 3 Tbsp granulated sugar.
  • While whisking, slowly pour milk mixture into flour mixture and mix just until combined (batter will be slightly lumpy), then fold egg whites into batter.
  • Spray waffle iron lightly and evenly with cooking spray then pour necessary amount (whatever fills your waffle iron, mine was a scant cup) into waffle iron and cook according to manufactures directions.
  • Keep warm in preheated oven and repeat process with remaining batter. Serve warm with syrup of choice.

    I made these today for my husband, son-in-law and two grandsons! The recipe was laborious somewhat, but got good reviews from my men! I sprinkled some chopped pecans on one of them for myself. The recipe made 4 1/2 large regular waffles. Served with maple syrup. One of my grands ate them without butter or syrup! Sausage and poached eggs on the side! I’ll save this recipe for future fall servings! Thanks for the recipe!

    This was delightful! Just what pumpkin waffles should be. Moist, soft, and fluffy. They weren’t very heavily spiced, which is appropriate because after all, they’re called pumpkin waffles, not “pumpkin spice waffles”.
    These were great with butter and brown sugar on top, or with chocolate chips. I’d like to try them with cinnamon and applesauce too, and maybe with clotted cream and berries. If you cook them a little too long, no problem! They develop a nice crunchiness and work perfectly as hot waffles to put gelato on!

      The recipe was very forgiving, too! I used a rather thick pumpkin puree and had to substitute milk+lemon juice for buttermilk, but they still turned out beautifully!
