It’s Fall (or close enough) and that means I’m enjoying all my favorite pumpkin recipes. Especially for breakfast! But some decisions are difficult.
Like should I have waffles or pancakes for breakfast? If you’re here you probably chose the waffles. But if you’re now craving pancakes, don’t worry, you can make these pumpkin pancakes!
But, have you considered our pumpkin monkey bread or pumpkin coffee cake? Because those should be next on your list! 😉
But first: Pumpkin Waffles! Made from scratch with real pumpkin and warm pumpkin pie spices which make them perfect for a Fall breakfast. I’d even take these for dessert.
We love to top these with lots of butter and maple syrup but whipped cream and pecans will work too! Or maybe some honey or caramel sauce? You can enjoy our pumpkin waffle recipe any way you like.

Dry Ingredients – You’ll need some standard waffle mix ingredients including all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt!
Wet Ingredients – In addition to the dry ingredients you’ll mix in eggs, buttermilk, and a neutral flavored oil to prepare the waffle batter.
Pumpkin Puree – We’re using real pumpkin in these homemade pumpkin waffles! Be sure to use 100% pure pumpkin puree and not canned pumpkin pie filling which contains spices and other liquids.
Pumpkin Pie Spice – Follow the link to try my own homemade pumpkin pie spice recipe! When you make your own you can adjust the amount of each spice to suit your taste, but the kind from the store works fine too!
Butter & Syrup – For serving. I’d recommend using real maple syrup for these pumpkin waffles. They’re worth the good stuff!

Waffle Iron
We use and recommend this Presto Waffle Iron! It’s easy to use and budget friendly with lots of good reviews. We’ve had ours for over 10 years now!
???? How To Make Pumpkin Waffles:
Dry Ingredients: To begin preparing the pumpkin waffle batter add all of the dry ingredients including the pumpkin pie spice to a large mixing bowl and whisk all that together until it is combined.
Wet Ingredients: In a separate small bowl add the eggs, buttermilk, pumpkin puree, and oil and whisk together until they are well combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined. A few lumps are fine. Don’t overmix the waffle batter!
Cook: When your waffle iron has preheated spray on some cooking spray and pour in the pumpkin waffle batter to make the first waffle. Cook the waffles per the instructions for your waffle iron until they are crisp and browned.
Tip: Heat your oven to 200 degrees and place a wire rack over a sheet pan to place the waffles on if you’d like to keep them warm in the oven while the others cook. This way you can serve them all at once!
Serving Suggestions:
You can enjoy these pumpkin Belgian waffles with some butter and syrup or try it with all kinds of other great toppings. And don’t forget mix-ins! Pumpkin chocolate chip waffles sound pretty good to me.

FAQ’s:
This recipe makes around 8 waffles in our Belgian waffle maker, but it will depend heavily on the size of your waffle maker how many waffles you end up with.
You’ll want to consult the instructions for your waffle iron. It could vary but most waffle irons have an indicator when the waffle is ready. If not just wait for the steam to stop coming out and your waffle should be perfectly cooked.
