Pumpkin Waffles with Maple Whipped Cream

Pumpkin Waffles with Maple Whipped Cream

I don’t think I’ve ever switched from a summer mindset to a fall mindset so fast! I am just ready for this next season. The summers have been getting more and more hot here in BC and I’m not a fan. So bring on the cool weather, hot drinks, crunchy leaves and pumpkin spiced everything! I’m starting out with these pumpkin waffles which are absolutely delicious and nutritious. I add a little ground flaxseed just so there is some nutritional benefit. The maple whipped cream is what really makes it though and it’s just 2 ingredients:

• heavy whipping cream

• pure maple syrup

I highly recommend using REAL maple syrup for the whipped cream and for topping. It just adds such an intense level of genuine flavour that you don’t get from the sugar-y fake stuff. In my opinion, it makes a difference!

Pumpkin Waffles with Maple Whipped Cream

These waffles are so pillowy soft and tasty. I had a friend try it out and he said “it’s definitely pumpkin-y! I would have it again!” So, there are no questions about the flavour there! I think the mix of the real pumpkin puree along with the pumpkin spice ensures that you get that punch of flavour. It just tastes like fall; it’s a warm breakfast that you would have on a crisp fall morning. If you have guests visiting for thanksgiving, it would be a great, and super easy, breakfast to prepare for the morning meal. You could also add chocolate chips for an extra treat. I’m sure the kids would love that!
