Ingredients
  

For the Waffles:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup buttermilk (or milk with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice added)

1 large egg

2 tablespoons melted butter or vegetable oil

Cooking spray for the waffle maker

For the Taco Filling:

4 strips of crispy bacon, chopped (or a vegetarian alternative)

4 large eggs, scrambled

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or dairy-free cheese)

1 avocado, sliced

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Optional: Salsa or hot sauce for serving

Instructions
 

Make the Waffle Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter. Gradually stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined; be careful not to overmix.

    Preheat the Waffle Maker: Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions and lightly grease it with cooking spray.

      Cook the Waffles: Pour about 1/4 cup of waffle batter onto the center of the preheated waffle iron (adjust the amount based on your waffle maker's size) and close the lid. Cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, about 3-5 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

        Prepare the Taco Filling: While the waffles are cooking, fry or cook the bacon until crispy and chop into small pieces. In a separate skillet, scramble the eggs until fully cooked and set aside.

          Assemble the Tacos: Once the waffles are cooked and still warm, gently fold each waffle in half to form the taco shell. Fill each taco with scrambled eggs, chopped bacon, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese. Top with slices of avocado and fresh cilantro.

            Serve & Enjoy: Serve the Mini Pumpkin Waffle Breakfast Tacos immediately, garnished with additional cheese and a side of salsa or hot sauce if desired.
