Description

Ingredients

• 1 pound bacon, thick cut preferred
• ¼ cup maple syrup
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 2 cups pancake mix (I used Hungry Jack® )
• 1 cup milk
• ½ cup pumpkin (not pie filling)
• ¼ cup canola oil
• 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Directions

• 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 ¼ cup for topping the waffles later.
• 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 manufacturers instructions. I used a non-stick Belgian waffle maker that doesnt 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.
