Start your day with a little bit of excitement when these brown butter pumpkin chai waffles are on the menu! Full of vitamin A and warm spices they taste like every fall morning should.

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?

- 6 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2½ cups flour
- ⅓ cup packed dark brown sugar
- 2¼ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp cardamom
- ½ tsp ginger
- 4 large eggs, beaten
- 2 cups Silk vanilla almond milk
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- maple syrup, for serving
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Continue cooking until it turns an amber color and starts to smell nutty. Pour into a bowl to stop the cooking and let cool while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cardamom, and ginger.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the brown butter, eggs, almond milk, lemon juice, vanilla, and pumpkin. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredient until just combined.
- Heat your waffle iron and cook the batter according to the manufacturer's instructions. Continue making waffles until the batter is gone. Serve with maple syrup.

Power breakfast = pumpkin breakfast for sure! Love this!
This may be THE perfect waffle recipe.
Seriously, how am I living without a waffle maker?
Oh, these look good!!!! I’ve never seen brown butter incorporated in a waffle, but now it’s pretty much the only way I want to eat them.
Brown butter and pumpkin chai… mmmmmm. Why can’t I be eating this in bed right now instead of sitting at my office desk???
Sounds phenomenal! I was browning butter for some financiers yesterday and just inhaling that amazing fragrance. Must be superb in waffles and with the pumpkin and seasonal spices, you’ve got a beautiful Fall breakfast on that lovely ruffle plate. Very nice!
Can I even describe how badly I’m wishing a huge stack of these gorgeous waffles would just appear in front of me?! Love LOVE the combo of pumpkin, brown butter, AND chai flavors! Hello, breakfast-for-dinner tonight. Pinned. 🙂
I wish I had one of these waffles in front of me right now! Love the all of the flavors!
I’ve been seeing brown butter breakfast recipes everywhere lately! But this one sounds great and just in tim for fall! Thanks for sharing!
Pass the plate!! With at least three of these please 🙂
Sooo much autumn goodness in this waffle it may explode! WOAH!!
Silk Almond milk is the best! But clearly it’s better in recipes like this than a bowl of boring cereal!
I’m not sure I’ve ever seen more beautiful waffles. Wish I had a huge plate of these right now!
Oooh, I would love to start every day with these waffles. Some of my favorite flavors all in one!
