Pumpkin Waffles

Perfect for brisk fall mornings (or any other time of year), Pumpkin Spice Waffles are a favorite at our house. They fill the house with the cozy aroma of pumpkin pie spice and instantly make everyone happy. We made them in the style of Belgian Liège Waffles, so you can eat them with your hands (dipped in chocolate sauce of course!) or stack them on a plate, drizzle them with syrup, and dig in!

Ingredients for Pumpkin Spice Waffles:

• Bob's Red Mill Unbleached White AP Flour
• Canned pumpkin
• Milk
• Brown sugar
• White sugar
• Baking soda
• Baking powder
• Eggs
• Vanilla extract 
• Pumpkin pie spice
• Salt
• Melted butter
• Orange gel food coloring (optional, but makes the kids happy!)

Ingredients for Chocolate Dipping Sauce:

• Dark chocolate chips
• Heavy cream

We partnered with our friends at Bob's Red Mill to create this pumpkin waffle recipe, and it really got us in the Halloween spirit! We used Bob's Unbleached White All-Purpose Flour as a base for these waffles, as it never disappoints. It is premium unbleached and enriched baking flour, milled from the highest quality North American wheat. It helps to create that airy, chewy bite that makes these waffles a step above the rest.

How to make this recipe:

1. Combine flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and both sugars in a large mixing bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, combine pumpkin, eggs, vanilla, milk, melted butter, and orange food coloring.
3. Add liquid mixture to dry mixture and mix just until combined. Do not over mix!
4. Drop ¼ cup batter into a hot waffle iron and cook 3 minutes until golden brown.
5. Continue until all waffles have been made, keeping warm in a 200° oven until ready to serve.
6. Serve waffles on plate and top with your favorite topping and drizzle with chocolate (we used our favorite Pumpkin Spice Granola as a crunchy garnish).

How to make chocolate sauce:

1. In a small sauce pan, combine chocolate chips and cream and combine over low heat until well combined. Do not overheat.

Ingredient notes:

• Make Gluten-Free Waffles : substitute Bob's 1 to 1 Baking Flour for the AP flour, for the best, fluffy texture. Some recipes call for whole wheat flour, but we find this makes the waffles too dense.
• No Pumpkin Pie Spice? Make your own! Combine 2 teaspoon cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, and ½ teaspoon allspice.
• Save them for later: you can make more waffles than you need, freeze them and pop them into the toaster on those busy weekday mornings.
• Alternative milks: we used 2% for this recipe, but you can easily substitute with nut milk of your choice. We like oat milk & almond milk best.
• Toppings: we like ours drizzled in chocolate, but you can always use butter, maple syrup, pecans, walnuts, or whipped cream.
