Ingredients

Waffles

2 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 ½ cups buttermilk
¾ cup pumpkin puree
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cinnamon Honey Butter

½ cup butter, softened
¼ cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
½ teaspoon cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Waffles

In a large measuring cup or bowl with a pour spout, add in flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Whisk until incorporated.
In a large bowl, whisk together the butter, eggs, brown sugar, buttermilk, pumpkin puree, and vanilla until smooth and completely combined.
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined but do not overmix. Some small lumps are ok.

Cinnamon Honey Butter

In a large bowl, add in all of the ingredients and beat until light, fluffy, and fully incorporated.
Heat waffle iron and pour in waffle batter. Cook until both sides are crispy and slightly browned.
Spread cinnamon honey butter over waffles, top with syrup, and enjoy.

Notes

Let the melted butter cool: Make sure the butter isn't piping hot when you add it to the wet ingredients.
Don't overmix the batter: Stir just until the ingredients are combined. Small lumps are completely okay.
Use softened butter for the topping: Soft butter will whip much more easily into a light, fluffy cinnamon honey butter.
Don't overfill the waffle iron: The batter expands as it cooks, so use the amount recommended for your waffle iron.
Cook until crispy: Let the waffles cook until both sides are crispy and slightly browned for the best texture.
Keep finished waffles warm: If you're making several batches, keep the cooked waffles warm while you finish the remaining batter.
Make the cinnamon honey butter ahead: You can prepare the butter before cooking the waffles so it's ready to spread as soon as they come off the waffle iron.
Serve immediately: These waffles are especially good right off the waffle iron when they're warm and crispy.
Don't forget the syrup: The cinnamon honey butter is delicious on its own, but a drizzle of maple syrup makes these waffles even better.
