Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups 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 the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir gently until just combined to form a batter; avoid overmixing to keep waffles tender.
- Preheat Waffle Maker: Turn on your waffle maker and allow it to heat fully according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Cook Waffles: Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, spoon the batter onto the hot waffle maker surface. Close the lid and cook according to your waffle maker’s settings or until the waffles are lightly golden and cooked through, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Repeat: Continue cooking the remaining batter in batches until all waffles are made. The number of waffles will depend on the size of your waffle maker, typically about 15 mini waffles.
- Serve: Serve the warm waffles with a pat of butter and pure maple syrup. Optionally, add pecans or chocolate chips as mix-ins or toppings for extra flavor and texture.
