Easy Pumpkin Spice Waffles
You are going to love these Pumpkin Spice Waffles because they are easy to make, full of pumpkin flavour, and make for a great seasonal breakfast!
We are amid Fall and I have to say I have been making all the pumpkin things lately! From Pumpkin Spice drinks to Pumpkin Breads, Muffins, and scones. I am in full pumpkin mode. And, if you’re a pumpkin fan like me, you are going to love these Easy Pumpkin Spice Waffles.
I’m a big breakfast person and I am even one of those people who make breakfast for dinner. We make pancakes more often, however we like to make waffles as a special treat. There is something about waffles that just feels extra special. My Fluffy Waffles recipe is the usual go-to recipe for the best-tasting waffles. However, in the Fall, you have to make these Pumpkin Spice Waffles at least once. They just get you in the Fall mood, so roll up the sleeves on your cosy sweaters, light a Fall-scented candle, and start making these oh-so-delicious waffles.
Waffles are also great for freezing. You can make a big batch, freeze them, and then defrost them in the microwave for a tasty, quick, and easy breakfast.
