Pumpkin is a big part of fall around our house. We all enjoy pumpkin flavored foods and sweets (when reasonably and appropriately used of course – we all know this pumpkin spice thing maybe be a bit out of hand). According to my husband’s Starbucks app, he is a “Pumpkin Pal”… Anyhoo, I have been loving incorporating pumpkin into some of the quick and regular items we cook around the house for Poppy and ourselves. These waffles are easy, no sugar added and delicious.

Course: Breakfast, Fall Dishes

Cuisine: American, Breakfast

Keyword: Fall Waffles, Pumpkin, Pumpkin Waffles, Toddler Waffles

Servings: 4 Full sized waffles (Approximately 16 – 1/4 waffles)

Equipment

• Waffle Iron
• Blender (standard or single serve smoothie sized)

Ingredients

• 1/2 Banana (approximately 1/4 cup)
• 3/4 cup Pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
• 3/4 cup Milk (dairy or non dairy milk of choice)
• 1 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla
• 1/8 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
• Canola or olive Oil Non-stick Spray

Instructions

• Heat Waffle Iron (to high if there are temperature setting options on the iron).
• Place all ingredents in the blender except the flour and blend until completely smooth.
• Add the flour to the blender and gently pulse OR add wet mixture to a medium bowl and fold in flour with a spoon until just mixed.
• Grease waffle iron trays.
• Place batter onto the waffle iron.

  [Tip: I like to place 2 cups of batter in the center of the pan and then cut on the seams to make 4 – 1/4 sized waffles for little toddler hands].
• Cook for 3-4 minutes, until slightly firm and golden brown.
• Repeat until all batter is used, greasing iron between each waffle.

Notes

To make vegan, use oat milk or a non-dairy milk of choice.

Serve plain or with toppings of choice. For my toddler I prefer to serve them plain with fruit on the side (there is a half banana conveniently waiting for this purpose). For sweeter or fancier serving preferences try syrup, chopped walnuts and/or whipped cream. [Take care when serving chopped nuts to toddler and be sure to chop finely].

As you know by now if you’ve read any of my other posts, we don’t have a lot of space in our kitchen. I don’t like to have big appliances with only one function so we have this Cuisinart 5-1 Griddler and then also have the compatible waffle plates for it. We really like it, it has so many uses and it is easy to clean and has held up for years.

I also frequently use my Nutribullet Pro Blender as the large cup is perfect for this recipe and many alike. I hate to mess with a large blender and this works perfectly.

Do you prefer waffles or pancakes? (Don’t worry if its pancakes, pumpkin pancakes recipe coming soon before the fall season is over).
