  • Make sure to use pure pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling for this recipe.
  • Be sure to use unsalted butter in this recipe.

  • Substitute coconut oil for melted butter - Coconut oil will add a mild coconut flavor to the waffles while still providing the same moisture and texture as butter. This is a great option for those looking for a dairy-free option.
  • Substitute oat flour for all-purpose flour - Oat flour is a great gluten-free alternative to all-purpose flour and will still add the same texture and flavor to the waffles. Oat flour is also high in fiber and protein, making it a healthier option for those looking for a nutritional boost.

Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Waffles Add 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips to the wet ingredients in step 1 and stir until combined. Proceed with the recipe as directed.



Pecan-Cinnamon French Toast: Pecan-Cinnamon French Toast is a perfect accompaniment to Pumpkin Waffles. The crunchy pecans and sweet cinnamon complement the pumpkin spice flavor of the waffles and the maple syrup adds an extra layer of sweetness.


Apple-Cranberry Compote: Apple-Cranberry Compote is a great accompaniment to the Pecan-Cinnamon French Toast and Pumpkin Waffles. The tartness of the cranberries and sweetness of the apples provide a delicious contrast to the flavors of the French Toast and Waffles, while the cinnamon and maple syrup tie the dishes together.
