I don’t know when I stopped eating cereal… I think my mornings have gotten cut short in the breakfast department. The truth is, I’d rather have waffles anyway. And so I figured I should Sunday brunch it waffle-style and freeze a bunch for mornings during the week. Then I can toast them, cut them, dunk them, and eat them as casually as I would cereal, or a granola bar, or a yogurt parfait situation. I’m just trying to make waffles casual, ya know? Let’s make waffles like your every day denim, ok?
Oh! And I figured I should sundae it up waffle-style because the truth is my mom always says waffles need ice cream, and she knows a thing or four. So I ate that sundae down there for breakfast and a cookie for lunch. Just a weekend diet, ya know? (Yesterday I had nachos for dinner and fro-yo for second dinner. Let’s just yolo our way through the weekend, ok? And yolo is over, right? Whoops.)

Totally agree that waffles should be everyday food. I love making a big batch and freezing them. These look incredible and I’m dying over that sundae photo with the cherry on top!
Pumpkin and beer are my two friends in the fall…so why not combine them to make beer totally acceptable in the morning?! Yum!
Oh hell yes. Casual wafflin’ for the win.
I like the way you live, girl.
Waffles every day? I’m down.
Casual waffles should be a thing! I love the sound of these guys in a waffle sundae situation!
These waffles need their own parade! Especially when they’re all dressed up in their sundae best 🙂
Waffles FTW.
I’ll be drooling all day just thinking about these. I don’t know if I should thank you or curse you! 😉
These look UNREAL. This is like heaven in a fall-themed breakfast. I really, really need a waffle maker I can stuff these in my face. Too good!
YES. These looks fantastic. Perfect, perfect brunch.
I love your yolo diet!! I can’t wait to make these waffles! (Waffles is my middle name. On Instagram.)
You put beer in yo waffles.. Girl! I need a whole plate.
Yolo will never be over! I am going to yolo my way through the coming weekend with these waffles and a beer or four.
oh my gawd. . I love these pumpkin beer waffles!!! I can’t wait to try this! and Nachos and fro-yo? sounds fabulous but I’d like a big stack of these waffles any day!! delicious!
Beer for breakfast? Count me in 🙂
Oh my, some lovely waffles there! x
Perfection! Looks great!
Oh my yum!! Love waffles, pumpkin and beer. Predictable!
I think I need to get a waffle iron. I wonder if pumpkin beer would be lost on these or if it would intensify the pumpkin-y goodness?
What kind of beer do you use? lager, ale,..?
These waffles look great. I always eat belgian waffles for breakfast so these would be a great alternative.
These waffles are kind of thick, as a warning to anyone who’s using this recipe for the first time. I’d loosen up the batter a bit with a splash of milk, or more beer and pumpkin puree. I used Yuengling and it worked pretty well.
