If you need a pumpkin fix at breakfast, these pumpkin waffles are the perfect thing!

I have no shame about being a pumpkin junkie. The mood can strike at any time of year, but it strikes most often in the fall.


I am currently obsessed with these waffles with real pumpkin, spices, and buttermilk. They are super moist and flavorful.

My secret weapon is this buttermilk powder that I always have handy in my fridge!

After your batter is ready to go, set up a waffle station like this.


I use a cheap Belgian waffle maker and it works fine.


My dad taught me a trick to getting great waffles out of this type of iron. Don't take the waffles out when the green light comes on, but instead wait until steam has mostly stopped coming out of the iron instead.

Because these waffles are so moist, do NOT overfill the waffle iron.


They won't be able to cook all of the way through and you'll get a soggy middle.

Top with whipped cream and cinnamon and you have some brunch-worthy waffles.
