Dry Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cup buttermilk pancake mix
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup neutral oil (olive oil, canola, vegetable, avocado, or melted coconut oil)
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk pancake mix, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, egg, neutral oil, and water until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the dry ingredient mixture into the wet mixture and stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep waffles tender.
- Preheat Waffle Maker: Turn on your waffle maker and allow it to fully preheat according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Cook Waffles: Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, spoon batter onto the preheated waffle maker, spreading slightly if needed. Close and cook the waffles until they are lightly golden and cooked through, following your waffle maker’s specific baking time and settings.
- Repeat Cooking: Continue spooning and cooking the batter in batches until all the batter is used. The number of waffles depends on your waffle maker’s size, approximately 15 mini waffles total.
- Serve: Serve the pumpkin waffles warm topped with butter and pure maple syrup. Optional toppings and mix-ins like pecans or chocolate chips make excellent additions.
Notes
- This recipe yields about 15 mini waffles and serves approximately 5 people, depending on waffle size.
- Trader Joe’s buttermilk pancake mix was used in the recipe, but other brands are fine.
- Olive oil was used as the neutral oil, but canola, vegetable, avocado, or melted coconut oil also work. Melted butter has not been tested.
