Pumpkin Waffles

You probably do not remember, but the first time I went to Atlanta, about 1 1/2 years ago now, I had the most amazing sweet potato waffles–I even wrote about them here. I’ve been dreaming of re-creating them ever since, so when my sister bought me this awesome retro cookbook, Pancakes and Waffles: The Fine Art of Pancake, Waffle, Crepe and Blintz Cooking (published 1970), I immediately went searching. And indeed I found them, but then decided since I live in Ohio, not the south, and it is autumn, why not make them pumpkin waffles (I confess I was also lured by the ease of using canned pumpkin).


Oh man these things are good. And real maple syrup complements them perfectly. I made them as part of a “breakfast for dinner” dinner that we had, and everyone was groaning in happiness when we ate. They were just that good. Run, don’t walk, to make these now.

    Love me some pumpkin – in all kinds of ways. I'm more of a pancake gal than waffles. Posted my Pumpkin Pancakes last weekend. Maybe I should put whipped cream on top of mine.

    Wow, your blog looks great, haven't popped in in a while 🙂 Speaking of 'great', these waffles look phenomenal. I always have a can of pumpkin sitting around that I never get to until T-Day for pies. I'm definitely trying these!!

    Nice recipe, sounds and looks scrumptious. Real maple syrup is the only way to go. I've become such a syrup snob I'd rather go without than have the gelatinous, processed stuff. On that same note, my mom gave me some Trader Joe's pumpkin waffle mix. It was too strong–your recipe, however, looks perfect! Thanks for sharing.
