It happened. I finally caught the pumpkin fever that has been going around. I was doing so good resisting, but then I walked into a huge wall of organic pumpkin staring me down as I walked into Trader Joe’s grocery store yesterday morning. I just so happened to be craving some waffles for breakfast, and adding some pumpkin just sounded too good not to make! Then, these pumpkin waffles happened.
I didn’t stop there. These whole wheat buttermilk pumpkin waffles should have been enough with a drizzle of maple syrup, but not for me. I was dreaming of my pumpkin waffles lathered in a sweet cinnamon cream cheese glaze. Let me just say, it was totally worth it.
These pumpkin waffles are definitely my favorite Fall breakfast, ever.
What is your favorite pumpkin recipe to make during the Fall season (or any time of the year)?
Here are a few of my favorite pumpkin recipes made in My San Francisco Kitchen:
Baked Mini Pumpkin Donuts with Chocolate Glaze
Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins
Have I given you the pumpkin fever yet???? 🙂
OK, back to these delicious buttermilk pumpkin waffles! You can control the thickness of the cinnamon cream cheese glaze by adding more or less milk.
Enjoy!!
- 2 oz cream cheese, room temperature
- ¼ cup confectioners' sugar
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp milk
- ½ cup canned pumpkin
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground cloves
- 1¼ cups whole wheat flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- For the glaze, add all ingredients to a stand mixer or mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth and well blended. Add more milk for a runny texture, and less milk for a thicker glaze.
- Preheat the waffle maker.
- Add the liquid ingredients (pumpkin, buttermilk, eggs, coconut oil) to a mixing bowl and whisk together.
- Add the remaining ingredients and stir with the whisk until all are well blended.
- Drop ¼ cup batter onto a greased waffle mold and close the waffle maker.
- Cook until golden brown and firm, about 2 minutes.
These waffles sound amazing and your pictures are beautiful!!
I can never get enough pumpkin! I’m in love with these waffles!
HEART EYES!!!!!
You had me at cinnamon cream cheese glaze. I know what I’m having for brunch this weekend! Looks amazing!
You do have some very tempting pumpkin recipes on your blog. I do love waffles; they are a wonderful breakfast. One day…I hope to get a waffle iron! xx
I’ve always been a waffle purist but after looking at these photos and reading the recipe, I do believe you’ve won me over to the other side. 🙂
Woo hoo, happy to hear it! 😀
I definitely have pumpkin fever now! I don’t know which recipe to try first – that soup is looking very comforting.
Thanks Laura!
