Sourdough Pumpkin Waffles

Sourdough pumpkin waffles are a great option for fall! After you’ve pureed your jack-olatern from halloween (or a sugar pumpkin you picked up while at the patch), you can create these delicious waffles. Of course, you can used canned purée too.

After making my instant pot pumpkin puree, I’ve been going hog wild on the pumpkin recipes. The girls and I enjoyed some sourdough waffles a couple of weeks ago, so I decided to try them with pumpkin. They did NOT disappoint! If you want to begin making sourdough recipes but don’t have a sourdough starter, here’s how you start one.

Why Add Pumpkin to Your Waffles

Pumpkins aren’t just fun to go to the pumpkin patch to pick out, but they’re also a great fall staple. Pumpkin is packed full of nutrients including fiber, vitamin C, potassium, and phosphorous. It’s also a good source of vitamin E, riboflavin, copper, and manganese. The nutrients in pumpkin can help to support healthy eyes, a healthy immune system, and skin.

Plus, since this is a sourdough pumpkin waffle recipe, you get the added benefits from using sourdough!

How to Prepare For Pumpkin Sourdough Waffles

Some sourdough recipes call for an “active” starter while others call for “discard” starter. Active starter means you fed your sourdough starter a few hours ago, it’s grown in the past few hours and is bubbly. Discard is what you get after your starter has sat in the fridge or when you’re about to feed it. Both can be used in this recipe since we add baking powder to it. I personally usually have an active starter since it’s cooler and I’m making sourdough bread, biscuits, etc. Plus, I just enjoy seeing my starter active.
