Pumpkin Waffles with Chocolate Chips are the perfect breakfast, full of savory fall flavors with a touch of sweetness in every bite! You’ll want to make them over and over again!
Yes, friends, I am here to share another pumpkin recipe with you! ‘Tis the season, and all that jazz, right? But really. I sort of made these on a whim a couple of weekends ago because I had some pumpkin puree I needed to use up. And let me just say, they are deeeelicious! Both toddler and (non-sweets-liking) husband approved!
The waffle batter has a bit of sweetness to it, but not too much, so the bites with chocolate chips are a nice balance of sweetness. I’d say you could even eat them without syrup, but that is totally up to you. My toddler would scoff that I even suggest such a thing! Because, you know, syrup and anything else sweet is life for that kid.

Can you freeze Pumpkin Waffles?
Absolutely! In fact, I encourage it! I came out with 15 of the small waffles, and froze 11 or 12, I believe, in a gallon size resealable plastic bag. Just make sure you let them cool to room temp before tossin in the bag and into the freezer. It makes for a quick and easy breakfast for the kiddo on school mornings. I just pull one out, pop it in the toaster, and voila! She has breakfast in about 3 minutes. She likes when I cut them into three strips and then she picks the up and dips them in her syrup. Whatever works kid. Whatever works.

Pumpkin Waffles with Chocolate Chips
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp ginger
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 2 eggs
- 3 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
- 1 cup chocolate chips (I used dark chocolate chips)
Instructions
- Turn on your waffle maker, so it can pre-heat while you mix the batter.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and spices.
- In a medium bowl whisk together the pumpkin, eggs, butter, brown sugar and buttermilk until well combined.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, and pour in the wet mixture. Mix together until just combined – make sure not to over mix. Gently stir in the chocolate chips.
- Your mixture will be thick but still pourable.
- Pour batter into waffle iron, and cook according to waffle iron directions. I use a 1/4 cup measuring cup for my waffle maker, but you may need a bigger amount if you have a larger waffle maker.
- Remove from waffle iron to a serving plate. Serve with butter and maple syrup, if desired.
