Introduction
If you’re craving something warm, spiced, and fun to eat with your fingers, these Pumpkin Pie Waffles with Cinnamon Yogurt Dip are your new go-to for fall mornings. Made with real pumpkin puree, cozy spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, and a touch of maple syrup, these waffles are basically pumpkin pie in breakfast form—only lighter, healthier, and way more fun to dip.
They’re made with oat flour for a naturally gluten-free twist, and the cinnamon yogurt dip (just yogurt, honey, and spice!) takes things to the next level. Cut them into dippable strips and add them to a fall breakfast board, lunchbox, or Halloween morning snack tray. These waffles are festive, wholesome, and totally delicious. 🎃🧇🍂

Ingredients
For the Pumpkin Waffles:
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups oat flour (or blended rolled oats)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ginger (optional)
- Pinch of salt
For the Cinnamon Yogurt Dip:
- ½ cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (to taste)
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Preparation Tips
- No oat flour? Just blend rolled oats in a blender until fine like flour.
- Want extra protein? Stir a scoop of vanilla protein powder into the batter.
- These waffles are naturally sweet but not overly sugary—perfect for pairing with the sweet dip.
- For a nutty twist, add a spoonful of almond butter or pecans into the batter.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Batter
- In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, mix the oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until just combined. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to thicken.
Step 2: Cook the Waffles
- Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease if needed.
- Scoop batter into the waffle maker (about ½ to ¾ cup depending on size) and cook for 3–5 minutes, or until golden and set.
- Let cool slightly before cutting into strips or “dippers.”
Step 3: Make the Yogurt Dip
- In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, honey, and cinnamon until smooth.
- Chill until ready to serve or keep at room temperature if serving immediately.
Serving Suggestions
- Arrange on a fall-themed breakfast board with apple slices, nuts, granola bites, and yogurt dip.
- Serve on Halloween morning with candy corn or chocolate chips on the side for extra fun.
- Pack strips and dip into a snack box or lunchbox for a festive fall treat.
Make-Ahead & Storage
- Fridge: Store waffles and yogurt dip separately in airtight containers for up to 4 days.
- Freezer: Freeze waffles (no dip) for up to 2 months. Reheat in a toaster for a crisp finish.
- Tip: Make a double batch and freeze half for busy mornings.
