Dry Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cup buttermilk pancake mix
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup neutral oil (olive, canola, vegetable, avocado, or melted coconut oil)
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk pancake mix, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, egg, neutral oil, and water until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir gently until just combined to form a batter. Avoid over-mixing for fluffier waffles.
- Preheat Waffle Maker: Turn on your waffle maker and allow it to fully preheat according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure even cooking.
- Cook Waffles: Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, spoon the batter onto the hot waffle maker. Close and cook according to your waffle maker’s recommended settings or until the waffles are lightly golden and cooked through.
- Repeat: Continue the process until all the batter is used. The number of waffles depends on the size and shape of your waffle maker; this recipe yields about 15 mini waffles.
- Serve: Serve warm with a pat of butter and pure maple syrup. Optional toppings include pecans or chocolate chips for extra flavor and texture.
Notes
- This recipe yields approximately 15 mini waffles, serving about 5 people.
- The exact number of waffles will depend on the size of your waffle maker.
