Nani's Favorite Pumpkin Spice Waffles
These cozy pumpkin waffles are crispy on the outside and wonderfully fluffy on the inside.
recipesbynani.comThere is nothing quite like the smell of pumpkin spice filling the kitchen on a slow weekend morning. These waffles have become a staple in my house because they strike the perfect balance between crispy edges and a soft, tender center that soaks up every drop of maple syrup.
I love serving these with a pat of butter and a sprinkle of chopped pecans for a little crunch. If you have extra pumpkin puree, feel free to freeze it in small bags so you can whip up a batch whenever the craving strikes.

Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to three days and reheat them in a toaster to keep them crispy. You can also freeze them in a single layer before moving them to a bag for easy weekday breakfasts.
