Pumpkin Spice Waffles

What better way to celebrate the season than with a stack of warm, fluffy pumpkin spice waffles? Bursting with the rich, comforting taste of pumpkin and aromatic spices, these waffles are the perfect blend of sweet and savory. Whether you’re enjoying a cozy brunch at home or hosting friends for a festive gathering, this delightful recipe is sure to become a seasonal favorite.

Ingredients

1 ¾ cups all purpose 

2 tsp brown sugar

1 ½ tsp baking powder 

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

1 tsp kosher salt

1 pack zenbodi fuel 

1 cup canned pumpkin puree

¼ cup milk

2 large eggs 

¼ cup unsalted melted butter 

Directions 

  1. Begin by warming your waffle iron. Once heated, lightly spray the cooking surface with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine your dry ingredients and whisk them together until they are evenly mixed and free of lumps.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients and ensure everything is well combined and smooth.
  4.  Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the mixtures together. Stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened; it’s okay if the batter is slightly lumpy—this will help keep your waffles fluffy.
  5. Pour 1/2 cup of the pumpkin batter onto the center of the preheated waffle iron. Close the lid carefully, making sure not to squeeze the batter out. Cook the waffles until they are golden brown and crisp, which should take about 4 to 5 minutes. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don’t overcook.
  6. Once cooked, carefully remove the waffles from the iron using a fork or tongs. Serve them immediately while warm. Enjoy with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruit!

Tips and tricks 

  1. Use Fresh Pumpkin: If possible, use fresh pumpkin puree instead of canned for a fresher flavor. Just make sure it's well-drained to avoid excess moisture.
  2. Spice It Up: Customize your spice mix! Besides cinnamon and nutmeg, consider adding ginger or allspice for extra warmth and flavor.
  3. Chill the Batter: Let the batter rest for about 10-15 minutes. This can help the waffles rise better and improve their texture.
  4. Make It Your Own: Add in extras like chopped pecans, walnuts, or chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
  5. Serve with Toppings: Enhance your waffles with maple syrup, whipped cream, or a dollop of yogurt. A sprinkle of powdered sugar can add a nice touch, too.
  6. Storage: Leftover waffles can be frozen. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a zip-top bag. Reheat in the toaster for a quick breakfast!
  7. Experiment with Flours: Try using a mix of all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour or even gluten-free flour for a healthier twist.
