Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend for gluten-free option)
  • 2 large eggs (or flax eggs for vegan version)
  • 1 ¼ cups milk (dairy or plant-based for vegan)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter or oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently to avoid overmixing and keep the batter light.
  2. Preheat Your Waffle Iron: Plug in your waffle iron and allow it to heat thoroughly to ensure a crisp outside and tender inside. Lightly grease the plates with oil or cooking spray for effortless waffle release.
  3. Cook the Waffles: Pour a generous scoop of batter onto the preheated waffle iron, spreading slightly if needed. Close the lid and cook according to your waffle maker’s instructions, usually 3 to 5 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Serve Fresh: Carefully remove the waffles and serve immediately with your favorite toppings, letting their fluffy texture and spicy pumpkin goodness shine.

Notes

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree for best flavor, either homemade or high-quality canned without added sugar.
  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain airiness and fluffiness.
  • Ensure the waffle iron is thoroughly preheated for crispier waffles.
  • Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes to hydrate the flour and blend flavors.
  • Adjust cinnamon and nutmeg to taste before cooking for desired spice level.
