The Best Pumpkin Spice Waffle Recipe

Fall is finally here– which means cozy sweaters, crisp air, colorful foliage, and of course, pumpkin spice everything! 

I love baking pumpkin spice treats from scratch for myself and family during this time of the year– which is what inspired this insanely delicious pumpkin spice waffle recipe! This recipe is healthy, made from nutritious ingredients, and is super simple to make. 

Cooking and baking from scratch is a cornerstone of my livelihood. It allows me to get creative in the kitchen, be more self-sufficient, and feed my family healthy foods that taste better than store-bought. 

Especially during the fall season, when there are tons of processed pumpkin spice sweets and treats available at the supermarket, I love to make mine from scratch. Cooking and baking from scratch ensures that my family gets to enjoy all of the cozy pumpkin spice treats without the junk that is put in packaged foods.

Using Lehman’s products for simple living– like their delicious maple syrup, mixing bowl, dough whisk, cast iron waffle maker, and syrup dispenser, makes this pumpkin spice waffle recipe enjoyable and effortless to make, and puts my mind at ease knowing the products and ingredients are mindfully sourced and healthy for my family!
