Pumpkin Pie Waffles

Happy Saturday lovelies!!! And Thanksgiving weekend at that!!! In our house we are starting the day (and weekend) off with these DELICIOUS Pumpkin Pie Waffles that my bella Tori posted about this week. I saw them on her instagram and couldn’t help but copy her and the recipe!!! If you’re looking for a fun breakfast to make for the entire family this Thanksgiving weekend … these are a must try and oh so festive!!!

I’ve never baked waffles before, so using a waffle mold (instead of a waffle iron) was a new adventure.  If you don’t have one of these molds you can use a traditional waffle iron as described below. The Pumpkin Pie Spice really makes a difference.

If you have any leftovers (unlikely), you can freeze them in a plastic re-sealable bag and put them in the toaster for a quick breakfast during the week!  Much healthier than the store-bought alternatives.

Waffle Ingredients:

• 3 tbsp. melted butter
• 2 c. flour
• ¼ c. sugar
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• ½ tsp. salt
• 1 ½ tsp. Epicure Pumpkin Pie Spice
• 1 c. pumpkin puree
• 2 ½ c. buttermilk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp. vanilla

Spiced Vanilla Greek Yogurt Ingredients:

• 1 c. vanilla Greek yogurt
• ½ tsp. Epicure Pumpkin Pie Spice

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 425F. Lightly brush the Epicure Waffle Mold with vegetable oil OR pre-heat your waffle iron if you don’t have the waffle mold.
2. Melt the butter in a saucepan or microwave and cool.
3. In a large bowl, mix together all of the dry ingredients.
4. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with a fork and add the pumpkin puree, buttermilk, vanilla and cooled melted butter. Mix together with a whisk.
5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just until mixed: do not over mix! It may still look lumpy.
6. Pour approximately ¼ cup of batter (or according to your waffle iron instructions if you don’t have an Epicure Waffle Mold) and bake or cook until lightly browned, approximately 10-12 minutes.
7. In a separate small bowl, mix together the yogurt and the spice and set aside.
8. Once cool to the touch, flip the mold upside-down, remove the waffles and serve with a dollop of the yogurt on top.

Happy Thanksgiving long weekend!!! What do you have planned???
