brown butter pumpkin chai waffles

There are two more days left in this workweek and by golly are we going to power breakfast our way through them.

And by power breakfast, I mean pumpkin breakfast.

Because SAME THING.

There are so many ways you could infuse pumpkin into your morning routine, but I daresay your repertoire won’t be complete without these waffles in it.

They’re basically crisp on the outside, fluff on the inside, perfectly chai-spiced, nutty brown butter perfection.

And they contain a vegetable. That earns you an A++ in winning at life.

You can even plop some Greek yogurt on top if you’re feeling extra virtuous. No judgment.

To make these taste even more healthy delicious, I used Silk Vanilla Almondmilk in lieu of buttermilk. Not only does this have 50% more calcium per serving than an equal serving of dairy milk, AND carries a hefty dose of vitamin E, but the nutty vanilla flavor that it infuses into the waffles is just dang good and makes them taste even more chai-like. You can’t argue with that. Have you tried Silk Vanilla Almondmilk yet?

If not, then GET THEE TO A STORE IMMEDIATELY. But make sure you sign up on the Silk website first so you can score some free coupons. After all, we have some serious power breakfast-ing to do and time is a-wasting!
