Keesha’s Tips & Tricks
- Use pure pumpkin puree: Avoid pumpkin pie filling, which already contains added sugar and spices.
- Mix gently: A few lumps are fine; overmixing can make the waffles tough.
- Keep them crisp: Place finished waffles on a wire rack instead of stacking them.
How to Store Pumpkin Waffles
Store cooled waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2–3 days. Reheat them in the oven or waffle maker to bring back their crisp texture.
