Why You Will Love These
- The maple syrup. Sweetening the waffle batter with maple syrup gives the waffles a great, subtle maple flavor that isn't too sweet. Not only do they taste great, but they smell amazing while they are cooking too!
- The homemade whipped cream. Fresh made whipped cream is always great, but adding pumpkin spice flavor to it makes it even better!
- They are easy. You can make the batter, cook the waffles and make up the whipped cream all in about 15 minutes. That's a pretty quick and easy breakfast, if you ask me!
Ingredient Notes
Here is information about some of the ingredients needed. For the full ingredient list, see the recipe card below.
- Maple syrup: I prefer to use pure maple syrup because I like the flavor better. You could use maple flavored syrup, if that is what you have on hand but the waffles will be a bit sweeter.
- Milk: Full fat or reduced fat milk will work just fine.
- Butter: Melted butter is used in the batter. You can use either unsalted or salted butter for this.
- Pumpkin pie spice: You can use store bought pumpkin pie spice, or make your own!
Step by Step Instructions
Here is how to make these easy belgian waffles. You will need a belgian waffle iron and a stand mixer for this recipe.
STEP 1: Place the bowl of your stand mixer in the refrigerator while you prepare the waffles.
STEP 2: In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Stir with a whisk to combine.
STEP 3: Add the wet ingredients (eggs, milk, butter, and maple syrup). Stir with a whisk just until combined. The batter should be pretty thick.
STEP 4: Heat your waffle maker.
STEP 5: Place waffle batter on the heated plates of your waffle maker and cook until golden brown. Remove, using a fork, to a plate to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
STEP 6: Remove the bowl of your stand mixer from the refrigerator and add the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar and pumpkin pie spice.
STEP 7: Using the whisk attachment of your stand mixer, beat the whipping cream mixture on high for 1-2 minutes, until stiff peaks form or until desired consistency. Scrape the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed.
STEP 8: Stack the waffles on a plate, top with the whipped cream and drizzle with warm maple syrup.
Expert Tips
- Use leftover spiced whipped cream in coffee, hot cocoa or on top of vanilla ice cream!
- Additional toppings that would be delicious are pecans, powdered sugar, walnuts, butter or chocolate chips.
- Be sure the heavy cream is cold when you whip it. Keep it in the refrigerator until you are ready to make the whipped cream.
- Check the manufacturer's directions for your waffle iron to see how much batter to use.
- A handheld mixer can be used in place of a stand mixer for making the whipped cream.
FAQ
Yes. If you do not have a belgian waffle maker, that is ok. This batter works great with any electric waffle maker size or shape. Belgian waffle makers make a thicker waffle with deeper pockets.
Sure. If you do not have pure maple syrup, maple flavored syrup will work fine. If you decide to use maple flavoring, I would replace the pure maple syrup in the recipe with sugar and add 1 teaspoon of maple flavored extract.
Storing and Freezing
Store leftover waffles in a zip top bag in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, wrap in a paper towel and warm in the microwave for 30-45 seconds or toast in a toaster or toaster oven.
