When the leaves start changing color, I always reach for my sourdough starter and a can of pumpkin. These waffles have become a staple in my kitchen because they bring that classic autumn warmth to the breakfast table with very little effort.

You can whip these up right away if you are in a rush, or let the batter ferment overnight for a deeper flavor. It is a simple, beginner friendly recipe that makes breakfast feel like a special occasion.

Ingredients

1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup sourdough discard
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup milk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon salt

6Instructions

1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sourdough discard, pumpkin puree, milk, egg, and melted butter.
3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
4
Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with oil or butter.
5
Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer instructions until golden brown and crispy.
6
Serve warm with your favorite maple syrup or a dollop of whipped cream.

Tips

Store any leftover waffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. To reheat, just pop them in the toaster to get that nice crispy edge back. They also freeze beautifully, so feel free to make a double batch for busy mornings.
