There’s something about a crisp fall morning that makes it feel like waffle season. I love a savory breakfast, but a warm and hearty waffle in the mornings is extra special. Like these pumpkin spice waffles.
I took a traditional waffle recipe and added pumpkin puree and cinnamon and nutmeg. These flavors gave the waffles warm and hearty undertones, similar to a pumpkin spice latte. It was perfect for the chilly morning I had today.
Everyone has their favorite waffle toppings. I typically just do classic maple syrup. And there’s lots that would go well with these waffles. Such as:
- Chocolate sauce
- Fresh strawberries
- Butter
- Pecans
- Peanut butter
- Raspberry preserves
- Whipped cream
- Vanilla bean ice cream
I couldn’t resist garnishing with whipped cream. I’m so glad I did. The only thing I’m missing is the cherry on top.
This recipe feels like the most perfect October recipe. All year long I look forward to the recipes in October. They’re the most exciting in my opinion. And maybe even the best tasting.
Let me know what you think 🙂
