Pumpkin spice popable waffle bites for a perfect fall breakfast treat.
Ingredients
For the waffle bites:
- 2 large eggs, separated
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer**
- ½ cup canned pumpkin
- 1 Tablespoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
For the glaze:
- 1 ½ cup powdered sugar
- ¼ cup Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer**
- nutmeg, for garnish
Instructions
- In a clean and dry mixing bowl, using an electric mixer with whisk attachment, beat egg whites until stiff (about 2-3 minutes). Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, add flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, salt and ginger. Mix until combined. Add coffee creamer, egg yolks and pumpkin. Beat until fully combined.
- Fold in stiff egg whites, mixing gently just until blended.
- Heat Belgian Waffle Iron on medium high. Spray with non-stick baking spray, if necessary.
- Drop batter by 1 Tbsp scoop onto waffle iron. Close iron and cook for about 2 ½-3 minutes, until browned on the outside with a slight crisp. Remove from waffle iron and cool on wire rack. Repeat until all batter has been used.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and coffee creamer until smooth. Dip tops of each cooled waffle bite into glaze and place on a wire rack. Sprinkle immediately with a pinch of nutmeg. Repeat until all waffle bites are glazed. Allow glaze to set about 15 minutes. ENJOY.
Notes
- Use my Homemade Pumpkin Coffee Creamer or purchase an already made creamer. Substitute milk or half and half if desired.
- Best eaten immediately or frozen. Do not add glaze if freezing. Freeze in ziploc bags. Pop in the toaster when ready to eat. Once toasted, top with glaze, if desired.
- Make sure before beating your egg whites that your bowl is clean and DRY.
- Choose pumpkin PUREE, not pumpkin pie filling.
- Skip the glaze and serve warm waffle bites with homemade buttermilk syrup instead!
- Instead of bites, make full size waffles instead, using the same method except adding ¼-½ cup of batter to the waffle maker.
