Pumpkin Waffles are the perfect treat for your weekend breakfast or brunch. Homemade waffles are easy to make with only a few simple ingredients.
Whipped egg whites makes them light and fluffy. Pumpkin and spices adds the extra depth of fall flavors. You’ll need a waffle iron– it’s a good investment if you love to create homemade breakfast. This is the time of year that I stock our pantry with many cans of mashed pumpkin. You can certainly mash your own pumpkin if you grew them. Make a few extra and put them in freezer Ziploc bags for those days that are super crazy, but you still want something homemade. You can simply plop the frozen waffles in the toaster to warm them up and re-crisp.
Pumpkin adds moist texture and autumnal flavor to these spiced waffles. Beaten egg whites folded into the batter make them especially fluffy.
