Pumpkin Waffles – the perfect fall breakfast! It starts with a pancake mix so it’s easy, fast, and delicious!
I finally found some not-rotten pumpkin, y’all! I was so excited when I spotted it that I let out a little squeal and two Target employees came rushing towards me to make sure I was okay.
And then I bought every can that was on the shelf.
No, I’m lying.
I left two cans.
The problem I’m having now is that they’re the massive cans which means I have to use a whole lot of pumpkin within a few days or it gets thrown out. Which I guess isn’t a bad problem to have.
Unless you’re my husband. He’s been dreading pumpkin season since I started talking about it months ago.
How To Make Pumpkin Waffles!
These Pumpkin Waffles start with a baking mix so they’re super easy and quick to put together. I used Bisquick because it’s what I had but any baking mix is fine.
That gets combined with milk, pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling), vegetable oil, brown sugar, cinnamon, and eggs. Combine all that until it’s well blended. And then once blended, it can go right into your waffle maker.
The general rule for making waffles is that they’re done when steam stops coming out of the waffle maker, but I like mine pretty crisp so I leave them in for while after that.
After that, serve with syrup or however you normally top your waffles!

You’d think that pumpkin canners would get the hint and make smaller cans by now .
Katrina @ In Katrina's Kitchen says
I know what you mean- I kind of have a love/hate relationship with those HUGE cans of pumpkin. These look so so delicious.
Rachel @ Baked by Rachel says
I try to avoid the huge cans at all cost because sometimes even the regular sized cans you only need half of for a recipe! I wonder how well leftover pumpkin would freeze? I still absolutely need a waffle iron! Maybe a splurge this winter sometime. Oh and… I can totally see you or someone else squeeling over canned pumpkin and employees rushing to the rescue haha.
Melissa says
Instead of buying an expensive waffle maker since I only make them once a month at most I just picked one up at a garage sale. It was only $8 and works like a charm.
Erin says
You can make these while I am still in bed anytime ;-). Glad you found pumpkin! I only recently was able to find it myself. Was about to resort to making it myself from a fresh pumpkin. I may still cause it’s soooo good.
Maggie @ A Bitchin' Kitchen says
These look so good! I really need to get a waffle maker. I’ve been having the worst time finding pumpkin lately, so I’ll be buying the whole shelf the next time I see it as well! I think this is something like the third year in a row there’s been a shortage. Crazy.
Jessica (thesavingmom) says
I freeze my excess pumpkin and add it into spaghetti or soup or things. That way I never feel the pressure. these sure look yummy though!
Cara says
I stockpiled about 6 cans last fall not knowing what the shelves would look like this year. Glad you found some pumpkin!
Averie @ Love Veggies and Yoga says

kita says
Oh hells yeah I need me some of those.
Denise @ TLT -The Little Things says
I have to make my own pumpkin puree, because they don’t sell the canned ones here. But this recipe looks so good; it will definitely be worth it to make some puree for:)
Georgia @ The Comfort of Cooking says
Wow, these are some beautiful waffles! These babies have got me drooling and craving pumpkin, STAT. Sorry to hear that your husband isn’t such a pumpkin fanatic, but you can send his serving my way ;) Thanks for sharing your photos and recipe, Amanda! I’m so glad to have found your blog and am looking forward to seeing more. :)

Tami says
These look really yummy and wonder if you could make pancakes out of them? just to be a little faster. I Love waffles, but just for me and hubby, I hate to drag out my waffle iron. but then again, I LOVE punkin and think I just Might have to tr y these. I have a couple coffee buddies that we usually have a muffin with our coffee, might have to make these instead. the more I type, the more reasons I can come up with to do this, lol
amanda says
Your comment made me giggle! It was like you were talking yourself into making them! :P I’m not sure how they would work as pancakes – I know most pancake recipes usually call for more eggs than waffle recipes. I’ve had my eye on this pumpkin pancake recipe though, if you’re looking for one: http://annies-eats.net/2009/11/10/pumpkin-spice-pancakes/
Thanks for reading and commenting! :)

Hey Do you have to use Brown Sugar to make pumpkin waffles?
amanda says
Nah, I’m sure you could use the regular granulated sugar. You might miss that molasses taste though! :)
