Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- ¾ cup canned pumpkin purée
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup melted butter or neutral oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the waffle iron: Set your waffle iron to preheat according to the manufacturer’s guidelines to ensure even cooking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, canned pumpkin purée, eggs, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Combine wet and dry mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently just until combined. Take care not to overmix to avoid tough waffles.
- Prepare the waffle iron: Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook the waffles: Pour the batter onto the waffle iron (amount depends on your iron size), cook for 4–5 minutes or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
- Serve warm: Remove waffles carefully and serve immediately topped with maple syrup, butter, whipped cream, or chopped pecans as desired.
Notes
- To make these waffles dairy-free, substitute almond milk for regular milk and use coconut oil instead of butter.
- Leftover waffles freeze well; reheat them easily in a toaster or oven for a quick breakfast.
