Bisquick Pumpkin Waffle Recipe
The combination of pumpkin and all the 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.

How to Make Pumpkin Waffles With Bisquick
1. Prepare
Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Make the Batter
Whisk the Bisquick, pumpkin spice, and brown sugar in a large bowl. Add the pumpkin puree, 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.
How to Store and Reheat Pumpkin Waffles
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 a 350ºF oven until heated through.

FAQs
For this recipe, you’ll need 1 cup of canned pumpkin puree, but different recipes call for different amounts of pumpkin.
The key to crispy waffles is using a hot waffle iron and making sure the batter is spread out evenly. Avoid overfilling your waffle iron, as this can lead to soggy waffles. Here are some more tips for making perfect waffles: Secrets to Making The Very Best Crispy Waffles
You can use homemade fresh pumpkin puree, but it will change the texture of the waffles slightly and may make them a bit more moist.
The amount of batter you’ll need for your waffles will depend on the size of your waffle iron. Check your waffle iron’s instructions for more specific guidance.
