I know what you’re thinking Pumpkin Shaped Mini Pancake Waffles? Is that really a thing? Well, yes. Yes it is. And I’m in love, teetering on obsessed.
I’m officially pumpkin obsessed. No, really. I started a pumpkin Instagram account called Officially Pumpkin Obsessed. It’s been loads of fun during this autumn season, even though Mother Nature has not cooperated and it’s been unbearably hot.
Pumpkin shaped pancake waffles have helped better the situation.

Any time one can lather pumpkin shaped pancakes with maple leaf shaped butter and drench the whole thing in syrup-is a good time, indeed.
Pumpkin Shaped Pancake Waffles
I’ve seen this mini appliance all over the ‘Gram. I checked my go-to, Amazon, but didn’t commit to “adding to cart.”
But, while I was looking at my wishlist the other day, low-and-behold! The Mini Pumpkin Shaped Pancake Waffles machine jumped into my cart and pleaded with me to bring it home. Who am I to refuse a pumpkin plea?
Tips for making Pancake Waffles
I followed the direction booklet for first use (surprisingly easy); just wipe clean, plug in, and you’re off. I added a little canola oil to a new spray bottle I had in the craft room and lightly sprayed the appliance every 3 or 4 pumpkin pancakes.
I used this Pumpkin Pancakes recipe from All Recipes. It’s a thick batter so I found that I needed to add only 1 1/2 tablespoons of batter instead of the recommended 3 tablespoons.
That particular recipe makes a lot of batter, so be prepared to either stand there a while , or, make a few pumpkin shaped pancake waffles and then use the rest of the batter for regular pancakes on a griddle. I’m a patient girl so I made them all in the mini pumpkin pancake maker. Ha!
I found that it took between 2-3 minutes for the pumpkin spice pancakes to cook.
To serve: Cut square pats of butter and use these tiny cuties to cut out shapes of butter.
Tools To Make Cooking Easier
This to pop out the waffles. It won’t damage the nice Teflon surface.
Keep the mini pumpkin pancakes warm with this while you finish cooking.
Use this to keep the pancake maker well oiled between batches.
I’m so happy I picked up this little piece of autumn happiness! And, now, I have a freezer full of pumpkin shaped pancake waffles for the next few weeks. So worth the wait.
