Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Serving:
- Maple syrup
- Whipped cream
- Chopped nuts (optional)
- Additional cinnamon for sprinkling
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
- In another bowl, mix the milk, pumpkin puree, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; some small lumps are okay.
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Once hot, lightly grease it with cooking spray or butter.
- Pour enough batter onto the waffle iron to just cover the waffle grid.
- Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp. This usually takes about 4-5 minutes, but the exact time may vary depending on your waffle iron.
- Carefully remove the waffle and repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve the waffles hot with maple syrup, a dollop of whipped cream, chopped nuts if desired, and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
