Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted, divded)
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (packed)

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup whipped cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instruction

  • Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high heat. Lightly brush the top and bottom of the waffle iron with 2 tablespoons melted butter.
  • To make the cinnamon sugar, combine sugar, brown sugar and cinnamon; set aside.
  • To make the cream cheese glaze, combine cream cheese, confectioners’ sugar, milk and vanilla in a small bowl until smooth; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice and salt; set aside.
  • In a large glass measuring cup or another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, pumpkin, eggs, brown sugar and remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Pour mixture over dry ingredients and stir using a rubber spatula just until moist.
  • Pour a scant 1/3 cup of the pumpkin mixture into the waffle iron, close gently and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 4-5 minutes. Working quickly, coat each waffle with cinnamon sugar.
  • Serve immediately, drizzled with cream cheese glaze.
