Are you ready for all things pumpkin?! If you’re a pumpkin lover, this is your time of year, and let me tell you, these pumpkin waffles are a must-make. They’re so delicious and easy to prepare thanks to a secret ingredient – Bisquick! It has everything you need to get started. No measuring all-purpose flour, salt, or baking powder is required.

Pumpkin waffles are the perfect addition to your fall breakfast repertoire, but let’s be real: if you’re a fan of that cozy pumpkin flavor, you want to get your fix all day long. Be sure to try my Easy Pumpkin Pie, Pumpkin Dump Cake, and Pumpkin Cookies recipes, too!

Bisquick Pumpkin Waffle Recipe

The combination of pumpkin and all the pumpkin pie spices that go along with it make these pumpkin waffles irresistible. And when they’re paired with the crispy edges and fluffy insides that only a good waffle can deliver, you’ve got a real winner on your hands.

Best of all, pumpkin waffles are fabulous for freezing, so you can whip up a batch or two on the weekend when you have more time, freeze them, and then enjoy them for breakfast all week long. If your kiddos often end up eating breakfast in the car on the way to school like mine, you can even toast up a pumpkin waffle, slather it with almond butter, pancake syrup, and a sprinkle of cinnamon, and let them eat it like a slice of toast! Better than any store-bought or frozen waffles, you’ll find yourself making them all year long.

How to Make Pumpkin Waffles With Bisquick

  1. Prepare: Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturerโ€™s instructions.
  2. Make the Batter: Whisk the Bisquick, pumpkin spice, and brown sugar in a large bowl. Add the pumpkin purรฉe, milk, eggs, and oil, and whisk again to combine.
  3. Cook the Waffles: Spray the preheated waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray. Ladle some batter into the center of the waffle iron, spreading it out as necessary. (The amount of batter used depends on the size of your waffle iron). Close the lid, and cook until the timer goes off.
  4. Serve: Plate the waffles, and serve them warm with your choice of toppings.

Quick Tip

If you’re making a big batch or not eating immediately, transfer your waffles to a wire rack so they cool without becoming soggy.

Quick Tip

Make sure that the waffle iron is hot before adding the waffle batter to achieve a crispy exterior and a soft and fluffy interior.

Pumpkin waffles can be refrigerated for up to 5 days, or stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, pop them in the toaster. Or, place them on a baking sheet, and warm in an oven preheated to 350ยบF until heated through.

FAQs

For this recipe, you’ll need 1 cup of canned pumpkin purรฉe. However, different recipes call for different amounts of pumpkin. So, be sure to read the ingredient list and instructions!
