Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure even cooking and crispy waffles.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground ginger until thoroughly combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula until just combined, taking care not to overmix for light waffles.
- Cook Waffles: Lightly spray or brush the waffle iron with oil to prevent sticking, then pour the batter onto the heated iron. Cook according to your waffle maker’s instructions, generally until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
- Keep Warm: Place cooked waffles on a baking sheet and keep them warm in a low oven while you finish cooking the rest of the batter.
- Serve: Serve the waffles immediately topped with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, butter, or whipped cream for a delicious breakfast experience.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, avoid opening the waffle iron too early during cooking.
- Use canned pumpkin puree or homemade puree for the best flavor and texture.
- Waffles can be reheated in a toaster or oven for quick breakfasts later.
- Adjust spices according to your preference for more or less warmth.
