These homemade crispy pumpkin waffles are the best I ever ate…and made. Quick recipe from scratch
Hashtag all the pumpkins because, I’m eating my face off until pumpkin season ends. There I said it and I’m not ashamed of it. All the pumpkin latte’s, all the pumpkin pies, all the pumpkin pierogi’s, all the pumpkin hummus. Pumpkin f*cking everything! If you read my blog posts often you know I rarely get through one without dropping an F-bomb. That’s just who I am. Hashtag all the sorry not sorry’s.
I don’t know why some people don’t like pumpkin. That’s not my business. If you landed here by accident and you hate pumpkin anything, X yourself on out and we’ll forget this ever happened.
Last week I made homemade pumpkin puree and today was my first official pumpkin recipe of the season. Yes, it’s still eleventy billion degrees outside, but it’s fall inside.
So let’s get right to this pumpkin recipe. Did I forget to tell you guys it has mini chocolate chips in it? Alright. It does. I wanted a bit of chocolate with my pumpkiney waffles. Can you blame me? You can leave them in or opt to leave them out. That’s your business.
