It’s almost Halloween! Now everyone knows that pumpkins are a big part of Halloween, so I decided to add a pumpkin flair to some original waffles. Sooooo… I made Pumpkin Waffles! Now with waffles, you have to add some yummy stuff… so you can guess what I did!
Syrup was the first necessity on these waffles! With most waffles, they seem a little dry. Although these waffles were a little dry, they still tasted like pumpkin! These waffles were pumpkinlicious!
My Mom just got a KitchenAid Waffle Baker, so I wanted to be the first one to use it! It is really cool. You can cook two waffles at a time, and there is even a timer to let you know when each waffle is done! THANK YOU KITCHENAID!!!
Whenever you have something pumpkin, you have to have whipped cream! Whipped cream is just the perfect topping!!!
This is what I look like in the morning. I am NOT a morning person! But when I make Pumpkin Waffles, I want to wake up! These waffles tasted like pumpkin pie. I loved them! The syrup and whipped cream totally contributed to the amazing flavor. Kids love sweet things right? These waffles were great and it was fun making them with our new waffle maker! Happy Halloween everyone!
And even a kid can make waffles for Halloween… Like Me!

I'm making these today for the family and can't wait! Thank you for sharing your awesome recipe. I too will probably substitute 1 c. AP for 1 c. whole wheat flour and i'll add a tablespoon of ground flax seed -- gotta get that fiber!

I used nutmeg, allspice and cinnamon ... I am not a big pumpkin pie spice person because they add ginger and I do not like ginger in my pumpkin. I added 1/2 tsp vanilla and 1/2 tsp maple extract to mine, as well as, 1/2 C applesauce ~~ made the waffles really moist!
A lot of times waffles call for "oil" for texture and moisture ... I use applesauce in place of OIL in ALL of my baking!

What a treat - I made these waffles for breakfast this morning. My oldest son said he prefers these over regular waffles. I did make a few adjustments - I substituted 1cup whole wheat flour for one of the ap flour cups. I also uped the milk to 2 cups and added 1 tsp of maple flavoring to my wet ingredients. Adding this one to my recipe box - Thanks RecipeBoy!
