So a few weeks ago I wrote about the best pancake recipe ever, and since finding that recipe it’s all I’ve been making for breakfast!

As much as I love pancakes, we needed a little switch up and although I have a tried and true waffle recipe already, my home-girl gave me a little tip, and that tip was…drum roll please…

Half and half! Yes, just half and half

The half and half gave it a creamy and more soft texture, I still use buttermilk but the half and half was the X factor!

Now are you telling me I can have hotel continental breakfast waffle perfection at my own house?!?! NOPE ! You can have BETTER than hotel continental breakfast waffles!

Fun fact* I stayed in a hotel for over a month and enjoyed every damn day of it, including waking up extra early only to abuse the endless waffles and fresh fruit :/

These waffles are light and crispy on the outside and then perfectly complimented with a  soft and buttery yet so airy inside.

This thing is beautiful inside out and I almost kept the recipe all to myself but because I love you peeps so much I’m giving y’all the hookup! 

Let me know  what you think!

Pumpkin Spice Waffles

Fall for my Pumpkin Spice Waffle just in time for a new season.

I wanted to give you a season introduction that was easy and sweet, perfect for those cool autumn weekends, and easy enough to enjoy with little time and effort.

Swap the White flour with whole wheat for a nuttier taste and healthier alternative. Add some nuts whatever you like be creative and make it your own but this recipe is good and simple without any variations, all you need is……..

1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour (whole wheat)

3 teaspoons baking powder

1-15oz can of Pumpkin

1 ¾ cup milk

1 egg

4 Tbs melted butter

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon All Spice

2 Tablespoons Sugar

1 Teaspoon Vanilla

No special mixing just make sure your egg and milk are room temperature and mix all of your dry ingredients together first. Once everything is mixed add vanilla, and cook waffles in waffle iron. These take a little longer than the basic waffle mix so let it set a little past the ready light. Enjoy with butter and maple syrup. Good Luck and Happy Fall.
