Perfect for brisk fall mornings (or any other time of the year) fluffy, chewy Pumpkin Spice Waffles are a cozy, satisfying treat. We loved them dipped or drizzled in homemade chocolate sauce!
Pumpkin Waffles are a favorite at our house. Like our Easy Pumpkin Bread, They fill the kitchen with the cozy aroma of pumpkin pie spice. This makes everyone happy.
We made this waffle recipe in the style of Belgian Liège Waffles, so you can eat them with your hands. Or you can stack them on a plate, drizzle them with syrup (and Pumpkin Spice Granola), and dig in!

How to make pumpkin waffles
- Combine flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and both sugars in a large mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, combine pumpkin, eggs, vanilla, milk, melted butter, and orange food coloring.
- Add liquid mixture to dry mixture and mix just until combined. Do not over mix!
- Drop ¼ cup batter into a hot waffle iron and cook 3 minutes until golden brown.
- Continue until all waffles have been made, keeping warm in a 200° oven until ready to serve.
- 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
- In a small sauce pan, combine chocolate chips and cream.
- Mix over low heat until well combined. Do not overheat.
- Serve as a dipping sauce or drizzled over waffles.
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 every time.
Variations
- 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. Check out our Gluten Free Chocolate Waffle recipe.
- No Pumpkin Pie Spice? Make your own! Combine 2 teaspoon cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, and ½ teaspoon allspice.
- 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.

Storage
We highly recommend making more waffles than you need (because they're so good)!
These waffles freeze well, so you can pop them in the toaster on those busy weekday mornings.
