When it comes to easy breakfast recipes, it doesn’t get much easier than this. Sliced King’s Hawaiian Sweet Bread is turned into waffle squares and topped with a creamy Pumpkin Pie Syrup for a simple breakfast everyone will love!
Friends, I may have discovered an easy breakfast recipe to make you feel a little less guilty about not having time to feed your kids a “real” meal in the morning.
I mean, those frozen waffles? We all know that those are about as easy as things get in the morning, right? Well, dare I say this is even easier.
You see, I “waffled” King’s Hawaiian Sweet Sliced Bread. Have you seen their sliced bread? It is so great by itself, but let me tell you… it is so, so, so good as little waffle squares!
I basically put a slice at a time of the sweet bread onto my waffle iron, closed it for a couple minutes, and out came these sweet little slightly crispy waffles, ready for eating or dipping in syrup. I’d say that definitely falls under the category of “easy breakfast recipes”, wouldn’t you?
Speaking of syrup, l must tell you a little about this Pumpkin Pie Syrup we dipped our King’s Hawaiian Waffles in. This Creamy Pumpkin Pie Syrup is my 3rd variation of a favorite syrup recipe given to me by Chef Brad from Thermador. His Creamy Buttermilk Syrup recipe is one of my favorite creations, ever! I also love the Creamy Chocolate Syrup I made as well as the amazing Eggnog Syrup. Since I wanted to create something a little more seasonal, I decided I need a pumpkin syrup in my repertoire. Between the crispy sweetness of the King’s Hawaiian Waffles and the seasonal warmth of this Creamy Pumpkin Syrup, I knew I had a breakfast winner!
With Halloween right around the corner and the holidays quickly approaching, easy breakfast recipes like this one are going to be my saving grace. I feel like if I can get breakfast started off on the right foot, I can do anything I set my mind to 🙂

King’s Hawaiian Waffles with Pumpkin Syrup
Ingredients
For the waffles:
- 1 package King's Hawaiian Sliced Sweet Bread
For the pumpkin syrup:
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 Tablespoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
- 1 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
For the waffles:
- Heat a waffle iron to medium heat.
- Place one slice of bread at a time onto the waffle iron and close tight. Heat for 60-90 seconds, or until bread is slightly crisp and toasted.
For the syrup:
- Place the butter, milk, pumpkin puree and sugar into a large saucepan. Whisk together and bring to a boil stirring continuously. Once boiling, remove from heat and whisk in vanilla and soda. It will foam up and is now ready to serve over waffles (or in coffee).
- Syrup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

What a fantastic and easy recipe. This is perfect for any morning.
Jocelyn @BruCrew Life says
Ok, how cute and fun and EASY are these waffles!?!? My son loves waffles, but I’m just not a morning person so he gets the frozen ones. These are easy enough that he can do them himself! Definitely getting some of that bread for our waffle iron. And that pumpkin syrup sounds like heaven!
Brenda @ a farmgirl's dabbles says
What a great waffles concept – I just have to try this! And that syrup looks beautiful!
Sharana @ Living The Sweet Life Blog says
I LOVE The idea of waffling bread!! We don’t have Kings Hawaiian bread – but I’ll definitely be doing this with Cinnamon Raisin bread — such a great idea!!
heather @french press says
pure genius – easiest breakfast ever
Marly says
Now see? This is one of those things that I think – how brilliant! Of course, I’m always thinking that when I’m thinking of you! 🙂 What a great idea to “waffle” sliced bread. I’m gonna try this asap…along with that syrup. Yes!
Jennifer @ Show Me the Yummy says
Stop it. You did NOT just turn Hawaiian bread into a waffle. That’s it! I’m buying a waffle maker. Right. Now!
Anna @ Crunchy Creamy Sweet says
Oh my gosh, this syrup! Heck, all of the variations you mentioned – they sound heavenly!! Must make! These waffles look so good! Wish I had them for lunch!
Sylvie | Gourmande in the Kitchen says
What a fun idea to waffle bread and that syrup sounds wonderful!
Sues says
I am in LOVE with everything about this!! So seasonal for the perfect lazy Sunday morning 🙂
Thalia @ butter and brioche says
Craving a stack of waffles right now.. these look SO delicious and I love that you used bread!
Jamie | Jamie's Recipes says
I sort of feel like I need to start waffling more things to see if it will work. I love the Hawaiian rolls and can only imagine how wonderful they would be waffled.
Toni | BoulderLocavore says
I have not had King’s Hawaiian since becoming gluten-free but this brings back fond memories of their sweet bread. The syrup idea is genius and such a wonderful staple for the next chilly months to come.
Lindsey | Cafe Johnsonia says
My children thank you! No, really. I think you just made waffles possible again at my house. I hated lugging out my waffle iron and dealing with the mess. Now I just have to lug it out and NO MESS! Love it! You’re so smart.
Kerry @ Kerry Cooks says
Oh wow, these waffles look so gorgeous Kristen!
Rachel Cooks says
What an amazing idea! I bet it would be great dipped in a little french toast mixture first too 🙂
Kate @ Diethood says
Oh wow! How pretty!! All I want is to pull up a chair next to that table… so dreamy!
fabiola@notjustbaked says
Wow, Kristen, this is so cool! I just love the creativity :).
Barbara | Creative Culinary says
What a great idea; my kids love waffles when they visit but I still dread the mess that ensues. This will SO be on the agenda next time!
That syrup…wow that took me back. I have a recipe that must be 30 years old from my father in law that uses buttermilk; we’ve always enjoyed it but sort of thought it was something only family ever used. 🙂
Dorothy @ Crazy for Crust says
This is such a genius idea Kristen!! I’m in love, and I love KH rolls so, yeah. This is happening soon!
Amanda says
This such a great idea, so creative!
DessertForTwo says
First, I had no idea that bread came in a loaf. Holy sweatpants, watch out! hehe
Second, I love to ‘waffle’ anything but actual waffle batter.
Third, I’m lusting after that diner-style syrup pourer! Must find one! 🙂
Trang says
What an awesome idea! I love King’s Hawaiian bread, and waffles??? Don’t have to tell me twice!
Nicole says
I LOVE King’s Hawaiian! It is the best! And your waffle creation looks fabulous.
Jamie | My Baking Addiction says
Love this idea! I could go for this right now and that pumpkin syrup sounds amazing.
