Fluffy and crispy waffles that are full of pumpkin flavor. Topped with pecans and drizzled with maple syrup.
Do you love the smell of waffles in the morning? We do especially on those chilly fall mornings. We don’t know what it is but to us, everything smells better on cold days. And these Pumpkin Pecan Waffles are no exception. When they are cooking in the waffle iron they give off the best warming and cozy pumpkin spice aroma.
Not only do they smell amazing but they taste so good and easy to make. Especially with a little bit of toasted pecan sprinkled on top and a generous helping of maple syrup.
