Pumpkin waffles are easy to make and delicious topped with homemade buttermilk syrup! The perfect breakfast for any fall morning!
Fall is my favorite season. I love the Fall colors, I love the traditional Fall flavors (pumpkin spice or caramel apples, anyone?!), I love scarves and sweaters and boots (without the requirement of a bulky coat on top), and I love the smells of the crisp Fall air. I even have a Pinterest board dedicated entirely to Fall entitled Fall: My Favorite Season! True story. I’m obsessed. 😉
One of my all-time favorite, go-to recipes for fall is Pumpkin Waffles. This recipe originated with my sister’s mother-in-law, and we are all OBSESSED with it now. It is perfect for a Fall brunch or for “breakfast for dinner,” as my mother always called it. I am so excited to share this pumpkin waffles recipe with you today! We make it several times through the season, and we always, ALWAYS make our Buttermilk Syrup to accompany it. It is TO. DIE. FOR. The buttermilk syrup takes the pumpkin waffles to a whole new level of divinity. Not that I’m dramatic about food or anything. Heehee.
Here’s the recipe for perfect pumpkin waffles. ENJOY!

Sarah,
Just wondering if the amount of baking powder is correct – seems like a lot!
Yep, it’s correct! It does seem like a lot, but it’s correct!
Well, I made them. They were beautiful, they smelled amazing, and the first bite was glorious…then GAG! Epic fail…I had put in baking SODA instead of powder! Can’t wait to make them again, using the right ingredient!
OH NO!!!!!!! Be sure to try again!
