Pumpkin waffle update (10.22.24). My original pumpkin waffle recipe is a few years old and I hadn’t made them in a while. I have updated and adjusted the old recipe and I think its better now. I have been using Birch Benders pancake mix lately, I think it’s fluffier than Kodiak..but I am still a fan of both. I think this would work with Krusteaz, Pearl Milling, Bisquick, or any other popular baking mix out there. This recipe was tested multiple times with Birch Benders. If you try any of the others, let me know how they turn out. My new additions are a teensy bit of nutmeg and a tad more cinnamon sugar. I think it is a more well rounded and slightly sweeter recipe. Adding an egg keeps the batter from separating when you open the waffle maker. Pumpkin has a strong flavor. Serving these with butter and maple syrup is my go-to but the kids like butter and more cinnamon sugar on top.

It can’t be helped, pumpkin season is here and its time to embrace it. It’s a rainy Saturday morning here and we are enjoying pajamas and cuddles. Seeing as I’m still in my stretchy pants, why not indulge in some pumpkin sweetness? I see no reason to make waffles or pancakes from scratch, I’ve done it before and they taste great but it seems like a tedious waste of time on a Saturday morning when I’m trying to hang out with the family. Kodiak Cakes pancake and waffle mix is really tasty and healthy made with whole wheat and oat flour. I think it’s fabulous but you can make these with any mix of your choice. Simply add 1/2 cup of pumpkin purée, and 2 tbsp + 1 tsp of cinnamon sugar (I buy the cinnamon sugar blend for making cinnamon toast on busy mornings...so good!). Cook time varies according to your waffle iron (be sure to coat the pan with vegetable oil or non-stick spray). I added about a minute after the iron said they were done to get extra crispy outside, the inside was still soft and fluffy. These waffles came together in a snap, made the house smell divine, and tasted just right.
