When I come up with a new recipe for Weelicious, it usually takes me some time to test it, write the post, stage and edit the photos and so on before publishing it here. But, earlier this week I innocently posted a picture of the kids lunches on my socials, and almost immediately I was barraged with emails and messages asking what it was that I made. So, by overwhelming demand, I bring you one of my favorite recipes, Pumpkin Waffles!

Over the holidays, I buy tons of canned pumpkin puree and inevitably it sits in the cabinet for months until I get around to using all of it. This recipe is for anyone who’s overstocked on pumpkin and wants to get rid of it in the yummiest way possible!

In our house, we’re all about serving these waffles for breakfast, but I decided to take them a step further. I like to make a big batch of waffles, enjoy half of them when I make them, freeze a few for future breakfasts (just pop them in the toaster oven when you need them) and make sandwiches with the remaining. Yes, sandwiches. Waffle sandwiches.

  1. I made these waffles for dinner and my picky eater (5yo) said they were the best thing ever! The recipe was so easy my 2yo helped me with all of it.

  2. What does the Astrix beside 1 cup of milk mean? Am I using 1 cup of Milk AND 1 cup of buttermilk? Or am I doing one or the other? Thanks so much! These sound delicious.

  3. Substituted pureed sweet potatoes for pumpkin when I realized I was out of canned pumpkin. Also used pumpkin pie spice in place of ginger. Lastly, I never have buttermilk, so I used the substitute of 1 tbsp. lemon juice per cup of milk. Delish!

  4. Is there any reason I shouldn’t make the batter the night before and stick it in the fridge until we wake up the next morning?

  5. You can, but it is a little tricky. Use half the amount of brown sugar called for if you’re using agave, and then increase the flour by the same amount. You might need to add a little more or less flour to get to the right consistency!
