Directions

• PREPARE PAN AND OVEN: Preheat oven to 225 degrees F. Place foil-lined wire rack over cookie sheet, and place cookie sheet in oven.
• MAKE SUGAR MIXTURE: In Hefty Slider Gallon Storage Bag add sugars and pumpkin pie spice. Shake until combined, set aside.
• MAKE SPICED CREAM CHEESE GLAZE: In bowl of stand mixer beat cream cheese on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Add powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon and beat until smooth. Use additional milk to thin glaze to desired consistency. Set aside.
• MAKE PUMPKIN WAFFLES BATTER: In medium bowl whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
• In bowl of stand mixer beat eggs on medium speed until frothy and pale in color, about 4-5 minutes. Add buttermilk, milk, pumpkin, and butter and beat on medium speed until smooth, about 1-2 minute. Add dry ingredients and mix on low speed until combined and no flour clumps remain, about 1-2 minutes.
• MAKE PUMPKIN WAFFLES: Lightly spray waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray. Add appropriate amount of batter to waffle iron, and spread quickly. Close waffle iron and cook according to manufacturer’s instructions.
• Place waffle on prepared baking sheet in oven, and repeat with remaining batter.
• FINISH: Working quickly, place 1 waffle at a time in Hefty® Slider Bag with sugar mixture, and shake until evenly coated. Repeat with remaining waffles. Drizzle waffles with spiced cream cheese glaze, and serve immediately.
