Servings: 5 Belgian waffles
Calories: 504kcal
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cup milk
- 3 tablespoons sugar white or brown
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup cream cheese or Greek yogurt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup oil canola, vegetable, avocado or even olive oil (not extra virgin)
- 1/2 cup pumpkin
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice
Preheat waffle iron according to manufacturer instructions (usually about 5 minutes)
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg in a large bowl.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and then add the wet ingredients (eggs, milk, oil, cream cheese, pumpkin).
Stir gently, just enough to combine (lumps will remain)
Add about 1 cup of batter to iron and cook waffles according to manufacturer instructions (usually about 4 to 5 minutes each waffle).
Pumpkin waffles tend to be soft; I cook them for an extra minute after the waffle iron signals the waffles are finished to make them more crispy.
Note: estimated nutrition is for a single Belgian waffle made with Greek yogurt.
