Pumpkin Spice Waffles
Crisp fall weekend mornings are made for a steaming cup of coffee and a decadently delicious seasonal breakfast. Pumpkin everything is dancing through my mind and I can’t seem to indulge my tastebuds enough with the nutmeg, ginger, clove, and cinnamon spices. Big weekend breakfasts are also dreamy, and though we don’t consume them often, I try to squeeze in a few when we get a lazy morning.
Pumpkin spice waffles pair so perfectly with this shift in the year where life tends to speed up with festivities but also opens up for a little more time spent with those we love.
Pumpkin Spice Waffle Topping
Though I’m a purist when it comes to waffle and pancake toppings, there’s something divine about slathering these in warmed butter and whipped cream. Not just any whip cream. A cinnamon almond homemade whipped cream is absolutely necessary. To make this divine topping follow the steps below:
- 1/2 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 2 teaspoons Granulated Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Almond Extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- Pour the heavy whipping cream in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Set the speed to medium-high and mix until soft peaks begin to form about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Turn the speed to low and add in the sugar, almond extract, and cinnamon. Mix until just combined.
How to Make Fluffy Waffles
The trick to achieving a springy soft waffle is in the eggs. By separating the eggs and adding the yolks to the initial mixture, and then beating the whites until stiff and fluffy, which you fold in at the end, you get fluffy waffles. Though this is an extra step it’s one I highly encourage because the outcome is so wonderful.

Thanks Kristie! I think these waffles are going to become a weekend staple in my house. Hope you like them just as much.
I just bought the makings for pumpkin pancakes this weekend! Hope they taste as good as your pumpkin waffles look. Great pictures!!
Yum! I’ve been wanting to try Pumpkin Pancakes too. You’ll have to let me know how they turn out.
These came out so well and look so delicious! I’m from New England, so I totally feel you with the forcing that we need to do with fall, but I do appreciate not having to shovel snow in the winter đŸ˜‰

Snow in the north was was of the main reasons we moved here!! So I’m with you there. I’ll happily settle for baking as my main source of all things Fall.
Yum! Perfect for a chilly Fall weekend!
If only we could get one of those “chilly” days! But just a few…
These look delicious! Our grocery store has been completely out of pumpkin puree lately, so I haven’t been able to make anything yet!
Okay my husband said the same thing when I sent him, yet again, for more pumpkin purée. Whole Foods in Mt. Pleasant had it in stock as of yesterday ????
