Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon for whipped cream
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and equipment: waffle iron, mixing bowls, whisk, measuring cups and spoons, electric mixer for whipped cream
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and ground cinnamon. Whisk dry ingredients together until well blended
- In a separate bowl, mix pumpkin puree, milk, and eggs until smooth and fully incorporated
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix; some small lumps are acceptable
- Preheat waffle iron and lightly grease with non-stick cooking spray or melted butter
- Pour batter into preheated waffle iron, using amount recommended by manufacturer, typically 1/2 to 3/4 cup per waffle
- Cook waffles until golden brown and crisp, approximately 3-4 minutes or according to waffle iron instructions
- For whipped cream, chill mixing bowl and whisk attachment in freezer for 10 minutes before preparing
- In chilled bowl, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and ground cinnamon until stiff peaks form, approximately 2-3 minutes
- Serve warm waffles immediately, topped with generous dollop of cinnamon whipped cream
- Optional: Garnish with additional cinnamon, maple syrup, or chopped pecans if desired
Tips
- Keep your waffle batter slightly lumpy - overmixing will lead to tough, dense waffles
- Ensure your waffle iron is fully preheated for crispy exterior and soft interior
- Chill your mixing bowl and whisk before making whipped cream for faster, fluffier results
- Use fresh, high-quality cinnamon for the most intense flavor
- Don't open the waffle iron too early; let the waffle cook completely for best texture
- For extra richness, substitute some milk with buttermilk
- If batter seems too thick, thin with a little extra milk
- Serve immediately for maximum crispness and flavor
