Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend for gluten-free option)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)
  • 2 large eggs (or 2 flax eggs for vegan)
  • 1 cup milk or buttermilk (or almond/oat milk for dairy-free)
  • ¼ cup melted butter or oil (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • ¼ cup sweetener (maple syrup, brown sugar, or honey)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together all dry ingredients including flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin spice blend. In a separate bowl, combine wet ingredients: pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, melted butter, and sweetener. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined to avoid overmixing, which keeps waffles tender.
  2. Preheat Your Waffle Iron: Set your waffle iron to medium-high heat and allow it to fully preheat. Lightly grease the cooking surface with butter or non-stick spray to ensure golden, crisp waffles that easily release.
  3. Cook the Waffles: Pour batter onto the center of the waffle iron, spreading slightly to fill the grid without overflowing. Close the iron and cook according to your machine’s instructions, generally 4-6 minutes, until waffles are crisp outside and cooked through.
  4. Serve Immediately or Keep Warm: Carefully remove waffles and place on a cooling rack. Keep warm in a low oven if not serving right away. Add desired toppings for the perfect indulgent breakfast.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the batter to keep waffles light and fluffy.
  • Cook waffles until steam stops for optimal crispness.
  • Adjust pumpkin spice gradually to suit your taste and avoid overpowering flavors.
  • Using buttermilk enhances lift and adds a subtle tang.
  • Warm maple syrup or honey before serving for extra comfort.
