It’s that time of year when I just want to bake anything and everything pumpkin! It makes me feel like fall is in the air — even if it’s still mostly shorts and t-shirt weather here in Tennessee!
These waffles are so easy to make, they are good for you, and they are just the right blend of hearty but not too dense. I made them yesterday and they were a hit at our house! If you want to add a little fall flavor to your menu this week, try these!
Whole-Wheat Pumpkin Waffles
- 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar or raw sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1-1/4 cups buttermilk (or make your own buttermilk with vinegar or lemon juice)
- 1/2 cup fresh or canned pumpkin
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Mix together the dry ingredients in one bowl. Beat together the eggs, buttermilk, pumpkin, and melted butter in another bowl.
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just blended. Preheat waffle iron and grease with cooking spray or butter. Bake waffles according to manufacturer’s directions until golden brown.
Serve with butter and syrup, if desired. Makes 5 Belgian-sized waffles.

What is YOUR favorite pumpkin recipe to make? I’d love to hear!
This is our new favorite waffle recipe for Fall! We’ve made it twice already! The texture and flavor are perfect!
Oh YAY! That made me so happy!
I make waffles at least once a week and freeze them because my kids LOVE waffles! I can’t wait to switch it up with this recipe. : )
I hope you enjoy them!
Can you tell us what kind of waffle maker you have? Those look delicious and my family is wanting a waffle maker like that.
It’s a Belgian Waffle maker — I think we got it from Walmart a long time ago! We love it!
Will these likely freeze well if Inmake a double batch?
We love your pumpkin chocolate chip muffins. Can’t wait to try this waffle recipe!
I hope you love it! We LOVE those muffins!
Can I make a request? I like to look at your site during my lunch hour but have been having trouble getting it to load and I think it is because of all of the pictures. Take this post for instance – you have 8 pictures of the waffles in this short post. Some of them look identical. Is there a way to limit almost identical pictures in your posts so that pages load more easily? Just a thought, though maybe I am the only one that has trouble viewing picture heavy posts?
The waffles do look delicious though.
Hmm… no one else has been saying they’ve been having any issues, but thanks for letting me know. I was having fun with my camera and taking pictures (it’s been awhile since I’ve done a recipe post) and took so many and just wanted to share some of them. 🙂
I don’t have trouble loading pics or posts, but I have noticed that when I click on comments to open in a new tab, it used to go straight to comments for me. But now it opens the post at the very top. Does anyone else notice this? Thanks!
That’s funny, I haven’t had a single problem loading any of her posts and I’m on an old iPhone 6s. Perhaps it’s your internet connection that is not very good causing the slowdown. I personally love seeing these photos! It keeps me inspired to try new things!
Could point Kasey. It could be the internet at work – which I have no control over. The only 2 sites I have trouble loading at work are MSM and Pinterest – both with loads of pictures. Oh well, I will just have to read MSM at home more.
