A waffle maker is such a wonderful kitchen appliance to have. Ours has been going strong for 10+ years. (Knocking on wood!) These waffles whip up in no time at all. The longest part is waiting for the waffle iron to heat up and cook each batch.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chunk Waffles Recipe

Pumpkin Chocolate Chunk Waffles are absolutely loaded with chunks of semisweet chocolate which makes them feel like a super indulgent treat. But chocolate aside, they are actually pretty healthy waffles. I mean, they have a cup of pumpkin which counts as a vegetable serving right? I’ve also added some whole wheat flour along with ground flaxseed.

Ground Flaxseed

Ground flaxseed is a great ingredient to have on hand. And if you buy it for one thing, you’ll be looking for more ways to use it. You’ll be adding a little flaxseed here, a little there. You can add it to smoothies, pancakes, muffins, breads, oatmeal. All kinds of things. You can even mix ground flaxseed with water to make an egg substitution when baking. Flaxseed is rich in soluble and insoluble fibers and is loaded with those fantastic omega-3 fatty acids that we all need more of.

How To Serve

Top these waffles of with a dollop of whipped cream and a drizzle of maple syrup and you’ll think you’ve died and gone to pumpkin heaven! It’s a wonderful breakfast treat full of fall flavor (and chocolate!). What’s not to love? I also love to serve a side of crispy bacon with these fall waffles.

Recipe Tip
