Pumpkin Spice Waffles

this recipe

It’s finally pumpkin season! These Pumpkin Spice Waffles are sure to get you in the mood for all things pumpkin. They are crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside and light yet hearty.

Fall’s signature squash packs some powerful healthy perks. A cup of cooked pumpkin has more potassium than a banana, with 564 milligrams to a banana's 422. A little extra potassium can help restore the body's balance of electrolytes after a workout and keep muscles functioning at their best.

I used my Breville Smart Waffle Pro to make these waffles. I was recently gifted with this waffle maker for my birthday and I am obsessed! It is the crème de la crème of waffle makers. With 12 different settings, I can customize my waffles just to my liking—so they literally turn out perfect. If you love making waffles, I highly recommend this product.

In this recipe, I decided to take a shortcut and use pumpkin pie spice, which is a mixture of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves. This spice mixture imparts an amazing blend of flavors and keeps the recipe simple! I always have a jar on hand, in case I run out of any of the individual spices.
