Easy Homemade Pumpkin Waffles Made with a Blender
Experience the delightful sweetness of pumpkin in these incredibly easy waffles, made effortlessly with a blender! This recipe yields approximately 3.5 to 4 waffles, perfect for a cozy breakfast or snack.
Key Ingredients
- All-purpose flour 250g (for that perfect waffle texture)
- Unsalted butter 110g (melted and slightly cooled)
- Granulated sugar 100g (adjust to your sweetness preference)
- Large eggs 100g (about 2 medium eggs; at room temperature for better incorporation)
- Steamed pumpkin 70g (mashed until smooth or ready for blending)
- Baking powder 1 1/3 tsp (to give them a lovely lift)
- Milk 180g (whole milk recommended for richness)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Start by preparing your blender. Add the steamed and mashed pumpkin, the milk (180g), and the eggs (100g) to the blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and homogenous. Ensure there are no lumps of pumpkin remaining for a consistent batter.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter (110g) and granulated sugar (100g). Whisk them together lightly until just combined – no need for extensive mixing. Then, pour the blended pumpkin mixture into this bowl. Stir everything together gently until well incorporated.
Step 3
Now it’s time for the dry ingredients. Sift the all-purpose flour (250g) and baking powder (1 1/3 tsp) together directly over the pumpkin mixture. Sifting helps prevent lumps and ensures a lighter texture. Using a spatula, gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; stop as soon as you no longer see streaks of flour. Overmixing can lead to tough waffles.
Step 4
Preheat your waffle maker thoroughly. Once hot, pour the batter onto the waffle maker. The cooking time will vary depending on your waffle maker and desired crispiness. For soft waffles, cook for about 2 minutes and 30 seconds. For a medium texture, aim for 3 minutes. For extra crispy waffles, cook for approximately 3 minutes and 30 seconds. Cook until golden brown and wonderfully fragrant. Enjoy your delicious homemade pumpkin waffles!
