Pumpkin Waffles with Homemade Pecan Butter

Anyone else waiting for Turkey? Anyone else wondering what to do with the leftover pumpkin from your pumpkin pie recipe? Anyone else wishing they had more room in the refrigerator? I was!

I made more room in the refrigerator by getting rid of a Tupperware and a crate of eggs with decision to make breakfast this morning and that alone makes it a win! Not to mention the smell in the air!

Pumpkin Waffles with Home Made Pecan Butter

I found this quick recipe for Pumpkin Waffles at Taste of Home and adapted it as I didn’t have a ton of pumpkin left. Then I glanced over at the bag of nuts and decided to dress up the waffles with Pecan Butter. Easier than you think- took me 15 minutes! Just in time to start on the Black Friday Ads!

Pumpkin Waffles

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 egg, lightly beaten
1-1/4 cups milk
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
4-1/2 teaspoons butter, melted

In a large bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, sugar, baking powder, seasonings and salt. Whisk the egg, milk, pumpkin and butter; stir into dry ingredients until well blended. Follow the directions on your waffles maker- Should serve about 4 pp!

Can’t eat just one!

These look mega delicious! Wish I was eating them now!

Pumpkin waffles!? That’s brilliant! As for the pecan butter, I could see myself eating it by the spoonful. 😀

These waffles sound SO darn good…but that Pecan Butter!? Oh man, it totally pushes them over the edge. Wish I had some breakie this morning. 🙂

Every time I make pumpkin pie/cheesecake/cake etc, I always seem to have just that little bit left over. This is a great way to use it up. I wish I had a waffle maker though; these pumpkin waffles look delicious!
