The Fluffiest Pumpkin Waffles

Have you ever eaten pumpkin waffles? I hadn’t, I know, shame on me. But this year I somehow got into the pumpkin haze. So I cecked out Pinterest and found a lot of different recipes. Finally I encountered the recipe below and bam, I was hooked. These pumpkin waffles are super fluffy, I love that they are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and tall and thick. I think they can be served either for breakfast, but also as a nice dessert.

I like the amount of pumpkin used in this recipe. I don’t like a super dominant flavor, but if it is too little, you wonder why you went through all the trouble of making pumpkin puree. Because, yes, you will have to cut a pumpkin into small pieces, let it simmer for about ten minutes and then you got the pumpkin puree needed. Strangely enough, pumpkin is often used for savory recipes in Germany, so for me this is not as “normal” to use pumpkin for desserts. But I really like the flavor in these waffles. I can only invite you to give it a try.

You know, I hate when you make a recipe and the pictures promise you an abundance of waffles and then you end up like with one. I really like below recipe, because it gives so many nice little square waffles. In case you are wondering what else to make with your leftover pumpkin puree, how about this pumpkin roll with apple cream, these cute pumpkin cookies in a pumpkin shapre, or these pumpkin cupcakes with caramel? I can also highly recommend this pumpkin spice latte.
