    Pumpkin pie in a crispy and fluffy waffle - a yummy fall breakfast treat. This recipe is vegan.

    Pumpkin Pie Waffles on a plate with powdered sugar

    Tomorrow, while you are eating your Sunday breakfast, I will be running 13.1 miles.  For fun, I suppose, since I am certainly not running to win. While I'm running I will be thinking about how I could have slept in. Or maybe I'll be thinking about these waffles.

    I'm running the Detroit Women's Half Marathon. Training didn't go as well as I had hoped. We got a dog, I worked too much, it was hot, the pool was nice. I'm nervous. I'm excited, my shin hurts, i didn't train nearly enough, blah, blah, blah I don't want to talk about it. So if you don't hear about my half marathon ever again don't take it personally.

    Since it will officially be Fall tomorrow (yay!) I'm going all pumpkin on you.

    Make your own pumpkin pie spice

    {Maybe I'll run more in the Fall.... I like running more when it's cool outside.}

    I used pumpkin pie spice in these waffles. If you don't have some on hand it's really easy to make your own, I've included my mix for in the recipe card below.

    How to make pumpkin pie waffles

    These are not overly sweet waffles. Which is probably why I love them so. If you can get your hands on real maple syrup, please use it. Even better is the stuff you can get in the spring -- from actual real trees. I promise it is better than the "Real Maple Syrup" from Costco. Which is good and so much better than regular "pancake syrup." Okay, it's more like a million times better than pancake syrup...  But still. Find a friend with a maple tree farm. They will become your best friend mid spring.

    These are pumpkin pie waffles are hearty and filling. Made with oats and whole wheat flour these babies provide a good douse of whole grains, plus the fibre from the pumpkin these will keep you full for hours.

    I use my blender to whip up the pumpkin and the rest of the wet ingredients. It's fast and ensures a creamy texture.

    If for some odd reason you don't have enough pumpkin on hand, you need about 2 cups, mashed ripe bananas will fill in nicely.

    I like to add a handful or two of chopped walnuts for a little extra crunch.

    Waffles are best served hot. We make them "made-to-order" so they are at their fluffiest and crispest. If you must make them ahead, keep the oven on at a very low temp and place the waffles in a baking dish or something in the oven as you get them done. This keeps them warm. But they will deflate the longer they sit.

    Equipment needed 

    You will need a waffle maker to make waffles. Duh? of course you do

    A good waffle iron will have adjustable temperature guage so you can adjust as needed. This is my favourite. It's on the pricy side, but it has lasted me 15 years.

    What to do with leftover waffles?

    Leftover waffles, are not as much of a problem.  Just wrap them in wax paper and stick them in the freezer. I pop in the toaster to heat them. It helps re-crisp (is that even a word?) the waffes, almost a crispy as fresh out of the waffle iron.

      I love the sound of the pumpkin pie spice - I think it will be far more flavorful than the commercial stuff. The waffles sound nice, too, but I would have to make them as pancakes, since I don't own a waffle iron. I'm curious as to approximately how many waffles you get when using a ¼ cup measure.

        Love to see how the recipe turns out as pancakes!
        My waffle iron is square and gives 4 square waffles per batch. But I hate cleaning it... so I use less and end up with a circle - or 4 wedge shaped waffles. Believe me - cleaning an overflowed waffle iron is a major bummer.
