Pumpkin season, yay!!!! These Pumpkin Waffles are the perfect simple fall breakfast idea – make a double batch for the freezer!

And if you love breakfast as much as I do, make sure to check out our huge collection of breakfast recipes. (I’m a big fan of this poached egg trick!).

Pumpkin Waffles
Pumpkin Waffle Ingredients
- Bisquick – Yes, yes, this is the secret ingredient. But as my mother-in-law says, why make it harder than we need to? I love a good recipe hack.
- Pumpkin pie spice – Grab some from the spice aisle, or make your own with our pumpkin spice recipe. (Ours is better, I promise).
- Pure pumpkin puree – Make sure you’re using pure pumpkin puree and not canned pumpkin pie filling. These are two very different things! You can usually find canned pumpkin with the canned vegetables, but sometimes it’s stocked in the baking aisle.
- Olive oil – I’m a fan of olive oil for pretty much everything, but any mild vegetable oil will work in this recipe.
- Egg – A medium or large egg is fine here.
- Milk – I prefer whole milk, but any type will work. Add more as necessary to thin the batter to your liking.

How Do You Make Pumpkin Waffles?
⭐ First, whisk everything together in a large bowl. ⭐ Next, add extra milk as necessary to get the batter thickness you like (I tend toward a thicker batter). ⭐ Finally, cook on your favorite waffle iron.
Preparation, Storage, and Reheating
Can You Make Pumpkin Waffles Ahead of Time?
Yes, you can make pumpkin waffles ahead of time. I love making a triple or quadruple batch and then stashing the extras in the freezer for future easy breakfasts.
Can I Freeze Pumpkin Waffles?
Yes, you can freeze pumpkin waffles, Let them cool completely, then store in a freezer bag or other freezer safe container. If you want to grab and reheat individual waffles, make sure to separate layers with parchment paper. Waffles will last several months in the freezer.
How to Reheat Pumpkin Waffles
You can always reheat pumpkin waffles in the microwave for about 60 seconds (depending on the wattage of your microwave), but my favorite way to reheat them is in a toaster or toaster oven . Toast on medium until they are heated through and edges are crispy. Make sure to serve with pure maple syrup and if you’re feeling ambitious, a pat of whipped butter.
What to Serve with Pumpkin Waffles
We topped ours with butter and pure maple syrup, but if you want to get fancy definitely try some Whipped Butter or fresh whipped cream. Mmmmmm. And be sure to serve it with a pumpkin spiced coffee (or frozen coffee drink if it’s still a million degrees where you are)! To make this recipe incredibly simple, we started with Bisquick. I’m a firm believer in using shortcuts when it will make life easier – and who doesn’t need a little help at the beginning of a new school year?
Pumpkin Waffles with Bisquick
Once upon a time I thought using prepared mixes was a dirty little secret. But then I asked my mother-in-law for her biscuit recipe. She’s laughed and said “BISQUICK!” She’s an exceptional cook and makes nearly everything from scratch so when she told me she loves Bisquick and to stop making things harder than they need to be, I promised myself I’d no longer feel guilty for going the easy route!

I never get tired of pumpkin recipes no matter what the season. And these pumpkin waffles sound like the perfect treat to whip up in the morning. My husband will be overjoyed since one of his favorite breakfasts are waffles. I think these would be great with some pecans added in and that lovely maple cinnamon honey butter.
Pumpkin flavour is one of the few ways to get some Vit A into my kids. These waffles are so tasty that they’re gobbled up quickly!
I wish I could hear your video, too low and can’t understand you. It is up full volume.
oh no, i’m sorry! maybe try headphones?
Can’t find your repice for your punkin spice
Oh my goodness, I’m not sure how that got unlinked. Fixed the article, also it’s right here: https://www.mamalovesfood.com/pumpkin-pie-spice/
Sorry about that!
Can you tell me how I would make these using whole wheat flour instead of Bisquik?
First time making them. I have a round Belgium waffle maker, I did add a little more milk than called for so they weren’t quite as dense. Excellent flavor. Some are still cooling on the counter for my freezer. It won’t be the last time I make them FOR SURE!!!
These are delicious! I love the pumpkin flavor with the soft waffles, and of course drowning them in maple syrup was amazing!
They’re perfectly crispy on the outside but still fluffy and tender inside. What I love most is how the pumpkin keeps them so moist without being heavy.
These pumpkin waffles were the perfect fall breakfast! The pumpkin spice flavor was just right, and they turned out light and fluffy.
These are a great way to start a fall morning! They make a great brunch addition as well!
