It’s pumpkin week here at Real Mom Kitchen! I look forward to this week EVERY SINGLE YEAR. I now have 49 delicious pumpkin recipes because of it. And now, I have 4 more recipes to add to the collection making my total 54 after this pumpkin week is over. To start of this week, I have a recipe for yeasted pumpkin waffles.
I happen to have 6 other pumpkin waffle recipes. However, this is the first one that includes yeast in the recipe. The thing about a yeasted waffle is you can make it the night before and let it rise in the fridge overnight. Alternately, you can let it rise for an hour at room temperature and use it right then.
The addition of yeast produces not only a depth of flavor, but a huge amount of rise to make the batter lighter and more tender inside. The pumpkin itself also adds tenderness to the waffle. Of course it includes those fall flavors of cinnamon and nutmeg.
Top these yeasted pumpkin waffles with maple syrup. Buttermilk syrup or spiced buttermilk syrup are a couple of other fantastic options for drizzling on these waffles.
