Tis the season to pumpkin all things…even waffles! Hi you guys! I’ve got a killer breakfast recipe for you today that is just bursting with fall flavors. Pumpkin spice, maple, pumpkin and BACON!! I can’t believe it either, but trust me, it’s our new favorite breakfast.
Every year I share tons of great recipes with you for the holidays. I’ve got you covered on holiday sides, main dishes, and, of course, desserts and treats. My favorite meal of the deal hasn’t got enough attention I’m afraid, so today, breakfast!
The first step is making the maple bacon and WOW, I’m going to be craving this bacon for dayzzz. The bacon is baked and intermittently brushed with a maple-brown sugar-pumpkin spice glaze. Your mouth just started watering, no?
The bacon comes out so crispy and just bursting with flavor! The pumpkin spice was a moment of pure genius. Who knew cinnamon + maple + bacon could taste so good?
Because the bacon requires a little bit of effort, I made sure to make the waffle batter a breeze. I used Hungry Jack® pancake mix to start it all off. Some pumpkin, milk, oil, and pumpkin spice are all you need to make these amazing waffles.
Honestly, the waffles by themselves were so good they didn’t need anything else but heck, it’s the holiday season. We topped ours with freshly whipped cream, a dusting of pumpkin pie spice, more maple bacon and of course, maple syrup. You couldn’t have paid me to leave the table.
Breakfast doesn’t have to be difficult or time-consuming…in fact, I think it tastes a whole lot better when it’s easy like these waffles 🙂 Take time to make breakfast with your family this season and don’t forget to use Hungry Jack® to make it extra delicious and easy!
(The waffle maker I used is this Oster Flip Belgian Waffle Maker. I got it a few years ago and it’s FANTASTIC!)

Pumpkin Spice Maple Bacon Waffles
Ingredients
Maple Bacon
- 1 pound bacon thick cut preferred
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Waffles
- 2 cups pancake mix I used Hungry Jack®
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup pumpkin not pie filling
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
Maple Bacon
- Whisk together the maple syrup, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice. Set aside.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
- Place a baking rack on top of the foil and spray generously with non-stick cooking spray.
- Place bacon slices across the rack making sure to not overlap.
- Turn oven to 400F degrees and bake bacon for 15 to 20 minutes. (Do not preheat the oven.)
- Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and brush bacon with maple glaze. Return to the oven for another 7 to 8 minutes.
- Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and using a pair of tongs, flip bacon over. Brush with the maple glaze.
- Return baking sheet to the oven and bake for another 5 to 7 minutes or until bacon reaches your desired level of crispness.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven (last time!) and let the bacon rest for 5 minutes before removing.
- Roughly chop bacon into bite-size pieces. Reserve 1/4 cup for topping the waffles later.
Waffles
- Whisk together the pancake mix, milk, pumpkin, oil, and pumpkin pie spice just until blended.
- Add bacon and stir to combine.
- Preheat your waffle iron and cook waffles according to the manufacturer's instructions. I used a non-stick Belgian waffle maker that doesn't require any greasing. If you have an older waffle maker you will need to spray non-stick spray first.
- Top waffles with freshly whipped cream, maple bacon, pumpkin pie spice, and maple syrup.
- Enjoy immediately.

Looks great! Is it the regular pancake mix or the complete pancake mix?
Naomi O'Mara says
OMG, I made these this morning… substituting the HUNGRY JACK with my own homemade whole-wheat pancake mix and it was amazing. I was strapped for time so I just ate the bacon alongside of the waffles as opposed to mixing it in. I used soy unsweetened milk and sugar free maple syrup so it was not as intensely sweet as I thought it would be. I like how I was able to easily modify this to fit my own taste-buds. I WILL be making this again. 😉

Wow, seems like a strange combo but I guess anything tastes better with bacon. Lol. I love the 50 holiday dessert ideas post.
