The perfect fall brunch does exist and I have the recipe for you!
My fail proof fluffy waffle is so good with touches of pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice. Some butter, cinnamon syrup and chopped peans or almonds.
We start by making a Cinnamon syrup that is so divine you will be licking the spoon! It’s very easy to make and accompanies the waffles perfectly.
Cinnamon Syrup-
Mix brown sugar and water in a small sauce pan, whisk until the sugar is dissolved, add butter, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Bring to a simmer while whisking and then set aside while we get the waffles ready. You can store the syrup in a sealed mason jar in the refrigerator for several weeks.
Just look how fantastic that is! This recipe is great for guests and especially on Thanksgiving weekend for brunch. You can make large batches by doubling or tripling the recipe.Â
Pumpkin Puree-
Store bought pumpkin puree works great but here is my homemade recipe to try out. Pumpkin Puree
