Ahhh… fall! The air is a little crisper, the leaves are putting on their most colorful outfits, and suddenly I find myself reaching for cozy sweaters and my favorite fall mug filled with pumpkin spice coffee. There’s just something about this season that makes me want to slow down and savor the little moments — like breakfast around the table with my family on a Sunday morning.
If your house is anything like mine, weekday mornings are a blur of backpacks, lunchboxes, and “where are my shoes?!” shouts from down the hall. That’s why I love Sunday mornings so much. It’s the one morning a week where we can take things a little slower, sleep in (just a little), and enjoy a real breakfast together. And this time of year, that breakfast has to include pumpkin spice waffles.
These waffles are everything fall should be — warm, cozy, a little sweet, and full of that spiced pumpkin flavor we all look forward to the moment September hits. I love how the smell of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves fills the kitchen as the waffles cook. It’s like a little autumn hug for your senses.
What I really love most, though, is the way these waffles bring everyone to the table. The kids wander in with messy hair and sleepy smiles, we pour the syrup, pass around the butter, and laugh about the week that just passed. There’s something magical about starting a Sunday morning this way — no rush, no screens, just us and a stack of warm pumpkin spice waffles.
I like to serve ours with warm real maple syrup and pair them with fresh fruit and a side of crispy bacon for some protein. As easy as that, you’ve got a breakfast that feels like a celebration of the season.
So, this weekend, grab your favorite mug, put on your coziest socks, and gather your people around the table. These pumpkin spice waffles are more than just breakfast — they’re a moment to slow down, connect, and make memories together.
