Nothing says good morning on a crisp fall day like these pumpkin spice waffles. Chopped pecans and a drizzle of pure maple syrup are the perfect topping, but truth be told, I’ve been known to devour them plain, straight from the waffle iron.

Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 3/4 cup 100 percent pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 3 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 tablespoons 100 percent pure maple syrup, plus additional for topping
- 2 large eggs, separated
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- Nonstick cooking spray
- Chopped pecans, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat a waffle maker.
- Whisk together the milk, pumpkin puree, oil, maple syrup and egg yolks. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda and salt.
- Slowly mix the flour mixture into the pumpkin mixture and stir until smooth, taking care not to overmix.
- In a separate large bowl, add the egg whites and beat with an electric mixer (or whisk vigorously by hand) until stiff peaks form, 3 to 4 minutes. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter until just combined.
- Lightly spray your waffle iron with cooking spray or oil, then ladle the waffle mixture in. Cook per the manufacturer’s instructions and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve with maple syrup and chopped pecans.

Delicious! I only made two changes. I omitted the all-purpose flour and used only 100% whole wheat flour (King Arthur brand), same total amount of flour. And, secondly, I added a teaspoon more of pumpkin pie spice. For our waffle maker, we got 4 waffles out of this recipe using slightly less than 1 cup of batter per waffle.
It sounds interesting.
Delicious recipe! I have made this twice. The second time I added 1/2 teaspoon more of the pumpkin pie spice and 1/4 cup more pumpkin puree to amp up the flavor. These were a huge hit with my husband who loves pumpkin waffles!
