Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon cloves
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups milk
- ½ cup pumpkin purée
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the waffle iron: Start by heating your waffle iron according to its manufacturer’s instructions to ensure it’s ready to cook the batter evenly.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. This creates a perfectly spiced base for your waffles.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, pumpkin purée, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well incorporated.
- Combine wet and dry mixes: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep your waffles light and fluffy.
- Cook the waffles: Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron in the amount recommended by your device. Cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, following your waffle iron’s guidelines.
- Serve warm: Remove the waffles and serve immediately topped with maple syrup, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar for extra flavor.
Notes
- Add chocolate chips or chopped pecans to the batter for extra indulgence and texture.
- Keep cooked waffles warm by placing them in a 200°F (90°C) oven while you finish cooking additional batches.
- Leftover waffles freeze well; simply reheat in a toaster or oven when ready to serve.
